USS (?) Marietta River Ironclad, 1866
Waterline Model 1/250 scale

The parts pages are basic. Thank you to Paper Modelers
member Lepercan for posting his Marietta build photos 1/12/12.
And the Internet for a photo of the USS Ozark after which the Marietta was fashioned.

The threaded four bolt method was used to scratch build railings.

Model is:
7 7/8 inches long
2 1/2 inches wide
1 12 inches high

The Civil War ended May 09, 1865
The Marietta was never commissioned, sat at Mound City,
Illinois , finally sold to David Cambell in 1873. For scrap?
