Dragon has kept the “warship revolution” rolling with the larger Gearing class of destroyers. The new U.S.S. Gearing is finely produced in 1/350 scale and is replete with an amazing level of detail. The U.S.S. Gearing (DD-710) was the lead ship of a class of destroyers. The destroyer was 119.1m long and had a beam of 12.22m. Crewed by 336 sailors, it had six 5-inch guns, 12 40mm antiaircraft guns and 11 20mm antiaircraft guns, plus a complement of torpedoes.

The Dragon 1/350 USS Livermore DD-429 1942 from the plastic ship model range accurately recreates the real life Gleaves-class destroyer sailed by the US Navy during World War II. Despite the USA’s neutrality at that time, it escorted convoys heading for the UK, and performed a shadowy war against German U-boat packs. It also endured other dangers such as grounding in a storm and being fired upon by a friendly artillery battery on Iceland. This plastic ship kit requires paint and glue to complete.

Dragon Kit: Case Pack: 12 pieces per master carton Box Size: 8.3" x 21.3" x 2.6" Dragon’s latest 1/350 scale plastic ship kit is a fine rendering of the U.S.S.The Sullivans (DDG-68), an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer. This particular class of vessel is famous for being an air warfare destroyer equipped with the advanced Aegis defense system with AN/SPY-1D radar. The U.S.S. The Sullivans has a rather unusual name, but one that is rich in heritage. In November 1942, the U.S.S. Juneau was sunk by a Japanese submarine near Guadalcanal. There were five brothers aboard the ship – George, Francis, Joseph, Madison and Albert Sullivan. The name of this modern destroyer commemorates the tragic deaths of these five brothers, the largest loss of life in any one family in WWII. DDG-68 was commissioned on 19 April 1997. This ship kit is replete with fine detail, and incorporates a one-piece hull. This aids accuracy and makes assembly that much more convenient. Details like the various weapon systems are nicely represented, and there is a generous assortment of photo-etched parts. These metal parts include deck railings and various items for the antennas and mast. Dragon has come up with an excellent 1/350 scale ship kit of the U.S.S. The Sullivans, a ship whose motto is “We stick together.” The same could well be said of this well-engineered plastic model! Manufacturer: DragonProduct name/code number: 1/350 U.S.S.

BuchananThe USS Buchanan (DD-484) had an eventful career in WWII. This Gleaves-class destroyer, named after a Confederate Navy admiral, was commissioned on March 21, 1942. The vessel served in the Pacific, taking part in such battles as Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. This destroyer holds the honor of having shuttled General MacArthur to and from the USS Missouri to accept the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay on August 30, 1945. As well as this, the ship endured such misfortunes as being hit by friendly fire, running aground and colliding with another destroyer during its combat tours! Such a colorful ship requires an equally outstanding model, so Dragon has carefully developed this innovative model of the USS Buchanan as it appeared in 1942.This Smart Kit represents a milestone in 1/350 warship kits, raising and establishing the bar in one bold presentation. Employing brand new thinking, design and engineering, this model represents a whole series of technological breakthroughs. A one-piece upper hull made from slide molds, sponsons expertly made with hitherto untried techniques, and use of photo-etched components, are just a few examples of the innovation found within its keel. New types of multimedia materials have been especially developed for this kit, from the pliant paper fiber used to represent flags, to the decals representing the deck walkway texture. There are even miniature figures included to populate this impressive model. This destroyer may possess an unprecedented level of detail, but Dragon’s clever engineering means it remains easy and pleasurable to assemble. The real USS Buchanan was turned over to the Turkish Navy

Metal parts depict anchor chain and propeller shaft.Part Number: 78023Manufacturer: Tamiya
The Dragon USS Maryland SSBN-738 + USS Chicago SSN-721 in 1:350 scale from the plastic submarine models Cyber-Hobby Super Value range accurately recreates the real life US Navy submarines. This plastic submarines kit requires paint and glue to complete.The Cyber Hobby Orange Box line of 1:350 scale kits has proved a real hit with modelers thanks to its incredibly low pricing point. Now Orange Box is extending its reach into other scales and model lines. The first new combination to become available is a duo of 1:350 scale ship kits, and these appear at an amazing low-budget price. The Orange Box item in question is a pair of US Navy submarines – an Ohio-class and a Los Angeles-class boat. The Ohio-class USS Maryland (SSBN-738) was commissioned in 1992 as a ballistic missile submarine. As a Trident D-5 nuclear-missile platform, it performs an important function as a strategic deterrence tool. The USS Maryland belongs to Submarine Squadron 20 (SUBRON 20) and is based in Georgia. On the other hand, the USS Chicago (SSN-721) is a Los Angeles-class submarine. Commissioned in 1986, the nuclear-powered fast attack submarine is based at Pearl Harbor in the Pacific Ocean. The kit box contains two complete models of these different class submarines at a very attractive price. The 1:350 scale models are well-engineered, and modelers will find they fit together with ease. Each detailed boat comes with its own display stand so that owners can show off their finished handiwork. A new molding was realized for the USS Chicago in order to reproduce the sonar protrusion, plus new radar mast was created. Cartograf decals are also available to adorn the finished submarine models, including an impressive Chicago Bull marking for the bow of the USS Chicago. Modelers seeking to build up their underwater fleets will not want to miss this attractive bargain from the expanding Orange Box line.
