This is a 1:48 scale model of the Regulus I, a U.S. Navy surface-to-surface missile launched from the decks of submarines, cruisers, and carriers. It had a nuclear warhead, a solid-fuel engine, two boosters for assist in take-off, a range of 400 miles, and a guidance system using radio commands from the launching vessel. The missile was deployed on a limited number of submarines and surface vessels during the late 1950s and early 1960s. This model was built and donated by Topping Models in 1956.
