Dragon 1/350 U.S.S. The Sullivans DDG-68 Plastic Model Kit [1033]

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!
