DD 491 USS Farenholt (1944)

$119.95

This Blue Water Navy kit of Farenholt depicts the ship as she appeared in 1944.

The kit measures 11.5 inches long. The kit is comprised of a single resin upper hull, a single piece lower hull (full hull or waterline construction), resin stacks, turrets and platforms. Other features are flat sided smoke stacks, lower square shaped bridge and cut back center deck house. Added to the 44 refit were the replacement of the 1.1 guns with the 40mm guns. Bridge wings were cut back and a 20mm gun was added to the front of the bridge. Small parts are cast in pewter for extra strength. A photo-etched brass sheet completes the kit with over 75 parts. A great kit for someone who has built a few resin kits.
