DRAGON 1026 USS LAFFEY DD-459 (GLEAVES DD-423 CLASS DESTROYER) 1/350 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
Dragon have chosen three different classes of U.S. Destroyers, namely the Gleaves Class, Benson Class, and the Gearing Class. Each of them is meticulously engineered and crafted to the highest standards in 1/350 scale. To further enhance the authenticity, Dragon provide a wide range of photo-etched parts in each kit. Whether a history enthusiast or a model collector, or simply appreciate the artistry of naval craftsmanship, these U.S. Destroyers model kits will be must-buy items to you.
This destroyer is the subject of Dragon’s newest 1/350 scale ship kit. Based on the revolutionary and extraordinary USS Buchanan Smart Kit (Item No. 1021), this new model has received the necessary changes to transform it into the famous Laffey. It has newly tooled flat-sided funnels and a forward superstructure bridge that accurately depicts the appearance of the U.S.S. Laffey in its final days. Making widespread use of slide molds, the kit also includes a generous helping of photo-etched parts (e.g. louvers atop the funnel) to provide the necessary level of finesse. The kit also includes a set of six miniature figures with which to populate this brave destroyer. In 1992, a National Geographic expedition actually succeeded in finding the wreck of the U.S.S. Laffey half a mile underwater off the coast of Guadalcanal, but now this model from Dragon brings the destroyer to life again!
