Jason Junior ROV & Tether Winch System -Titanic Explorer - 1:12 Scale (Alvin DSV Compatible)

Informazioni su questo modello

Bring a piece of deep-sea maritime history to your workbench with this highly detailed 1:12 scale display model of the Jason Junior (JJ) ROV, complete with its iconic tether winch deployment system! Designed as a prototype by WHOI for the historic 1986 Titanic expedition, Jason Junior was the brave little explorer that ventured deep inside the wreck's grand staircase. This 3D printable model is designed as a perfect companion piece for our previously released DSV Alvin submersible models, capturing a final footprint of approximately 62x48x40mm. If you own our original 1:30 scale Alvin model and want them to be perfectly compatible in the same showcase, simply downscale all the Jason Junior and winch STL files to 40% in your slicer. Please note that when scaled down to 40%, a resin (SLA) printer will likely be necessary, as the intricate details will become far too fine and microscopic for a standard FDM printer to handle cleanly. Although natively optimized for a compact scale, the engineering details across the 28 Jason Junior parts and 5 tether winch parts are so crisp that it can easily be upscaled for much larger, high-fidelity projects. To bring the display to life, both the thruster propellers and the winch reel drum are mechanically designed to rotate freely. Please note that this model was meticulously reverse-engineered using only a handful of blurry historical photos and expedition footage, as no official technical drawings or blueprints exist. Because of this, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. What you see in the provided renders is exactly what you get; we highly encourage builders to carefully examine the renders before purchasing. As creators, we are absolutely thrilled with how this turns out, we loved making it, and we are confident fellow scale modeling enthusiasts will thoroughly enjoy bringing it to life!
