USS Rattler

A 3Dmodel file representing the Union tinclad sternwheel gunboat, U.S.S. Rattler. She served with Admiral Porter's Mississippi Squadron and was engaged in several actions, including the attack on Fort Hindeman in January 1863. She was lost in a gale in December 1864.

The model is scaled to 1:600, and prints well at 1:1200 on a resin printer.
