HobbyBoss USS Pegasus PHM-1 [1:200]
Item No: 82005

This 1:200 scale plastic model kit faithfully recreates the USS Pegasus PHM-1, the lead ship of the U.S. Navy’s Cold War–era Pegasus‐class hydrofoils. At 203.9 mm long with a 71.4 mm beam, the kit comprises over 240 parts, including a multi‐directional slide‐moulded lower hull and superstructure, finely detailed photo‐etched components, and an engraved nameplate display stand. The Pegasus‐class hydrofoils employed submerged foils to “fly” above the water at high speed, drastically reducing drag and enhancing maneuverability for coastal patrols and narcotics interdiction. Armed with surface‐to‐surface missiles and rapid‐fire naval guns, these vessels served from 1977 until 1993, proving the tactical value of hydrofoil technology in compact, agile warships. Designed for advanced modelers, this kit captures the sleek lines, foil struts, and deck fittings of one of the U.S. Navy’s most innovative patrol combatants, offering both an educational build and a striking display piece.
