A "Red October" Typhoon class Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) submarine model miniature replica from John McTiernan's action thriller The Hunt for Red October. Soviet captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) took control of his stealth-modified nuclear submarine and led his crew on a secret mission into U.S. waters. This chartreuse and sage green fiberglass replica was commissioned by ILM, who also created the model submarines in the film. This submarine was created from the original model molds, but was ultimately not used on-screen. It features dual propeller diving plates and rudders in the stern, detailed torpedo tubes, and 30 missile birthing ports in front of the conning tower on the top. It exhibits signs of use and wear throughout including some paint chipping, cracking, and a pair of metal wires affixed to the top for display, but remains in fair overall condition. Dimensions: 144" x 20" x 21" (365.75 cm x 50.75 cm x 53.5 cm) Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide. Estimate: $8,000 - 12,000
