The Ultimate Coast Guard WorkhorseThe 95-foot Cape Class cutters were the backbone of the U.S. Coast Guard’s coastal defense and search-and-rescue operations from the 1950s through the late 1980s. Originally designed for shallow-draft Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) during the early Cold War, these 36 vessels evolved through three distinct sub-classes—Types A, B, and C—shifting their focus toward law enforcement, drug interdiction, and maritime safety. Our high-fidelity 3D model faithfully recreates this iconic silhouette, featuring a detailed steel-hull design and the distinct aluminum superstructure. To give you maximum historical flexibility, the pack includes over 175 hi-poly STL files and many optional accessory pieces, allowing you to complete your boat as a period-accurate as built sub-chaser or a later-era patrol cutter.

3D printing settingsEngineered for the Builder and the CaptainThis model was designed with ease of assembly and high performance in mind, fitting comfortably on a standard 22x22x25 cm print bed. The hull has been simplified into just four main parts featuring integrated attachment flanges and guide holes to ensure perfect alignment during gluing. For those who want to see their creation on the water, the model is fully RC-ready, featuring dedicated DC and servo motor mounts with a generous 8.25mm propeller shaft tunnel bore. Maintenance is a breeze thanks to large hatches on the front and rear decks, while the entire superstructure serves as a massive removable hatch. Screw holes are pre-modeled for easy fastening, though they can be easily enlarged for magnet mounting. Whether you’re using the full-color 3MF file for a display masterpiece or the high-poly STLs for a functional RC vessel, this Cape Class model brings a piece of maritime heroism right to your workshop.
