DDG51 USS Arleigh Burke
$185.95
The Arleigh Burke class of
destroyers are the only class of surface combatants that will be under
construction in the U.S. at the start of the 21st century.
They are in series production with the Department of Defense and Congress supporting four per year. These are the first U.S. Destroyers of post-WW II construction with steel superstructures. These ships, the first all-new US Navy surface combatant design in many years, are fully multi-role ships. Their primary emphasis is AAW, but they are very capable in all other warfare areas. They were designed with "lessons learned" from previous classes, and are among the finest surface combatants in the world
The kit measures 17.5 inches
long and is the first and still only accurate kit of this ship on the market
today. The upper hull is cast as a single piece casting split at the waterline
for your choice of full hull or waterline model. All the large parts, the
turret, smoke stacks, pipes, and platforms are cast in resin. All small parts
are cast in fine pewter. An extensive photo-etched brass sheet is included to
finish the kit.
