USS Dennis J Buckley DD-808 (1/350, Yankee Models)

Description

The Dennis J. Buckley was a Gearing class DD converted to a Radar Picket Destroyer (DDR). The kit can be built as a WW II ship or a later version used in the 1950’s.

The Yankee Model kit has both early and late style radar’s. Missing from the Gearing kit (BN-35003) is the torpedo bank. Added are the aft tripod mast and third 40mm gun on the aft deckhouse. This kit measures 13.25 inches long. It is comprised of a single resin upper hull, a single piece lower hull (build either full hull or waterline), resin turrets, stacks and platforms. Small parts are cast in fine pewter for extra strength, and a photo-etched brass sheet completes the kit with over 70 parts.

For advanced modelers only!
Yankee modelworks kits are resin and metal kits designed for modelers experienced in these materials. These are not plastic kits and require a different skillset to construct.
