1/700 USS Luzon 01 House Metric: Advanced Superstructure Detailing

Refine the specialized silhouette of your Argus-class internal combustion engine repair ship with the meticulously crafted 1/700 USS Luzon 01 House Metric. This high-precision component replicates the primary deckhouse structure located on the 01 level of the USS Luzon (ARG-2). As a critical architectural element, the 01 house served as the structural base for the bridge and provided essential interior workshop and crew spaces required for mobile fleet repairs.

Miniature Engineering & Architectural Fidelity

• Sophisticated Detail: Despite its compact 1/700 scale, the 01 house captures the utilitarian essence of the USS Luzon with exquisite fidelity. Every feature—from the accurately placed watertight doors and portholes to the subtle structural ribbing—is rendered with the sharpness required for a museum-grade display. This piece bridges the gap between the open deck and the command levels, adding vital depth to your ship's profile.
• Premium Material Quality: Utilizing high-resolution 3D printing technology, this model offers a level of surface smoothness and detail retention that surpasses traditional injection-molded plastic. The "Metric" engineering ensures a seamless fit onto the 01 deck, providing a professional-grade aesthetic for your waterline or full-hull masterpiece.
• Intelligent Hollowed Design: To ensure this central superstructure piece remains lightweight and easy to secure, it is expertly hollowed. This engineering choice preserves the structural integrity of the 01 house while minimizing the weight on your model's upper profile—a critical factor for maintaining the delicate balance and "sit" of a 1/700 scale vessel.
• Unpainted for Historical Accuracy: Arriving unpainted, this house serves as a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Whether you are applying the Measure 21 Navy Blue or the Haze Grey schemes common to the Pacific Fleet, the resin surface is optimized for high-quality primers. This allows you to apply realistic weathering—such as subtle rust streaks at the door seams or salt fading on the bulkheads—to achieve a high level of authenticity and realism.
