Fletcher Class in wood USS Kidd

The Great wooden kit is 300.00 complete with all the parts.
This fine wooden model is about 24" long 1/16th scale. Kit# DC117

USS Kidd
    A stirring reminder of action at sea, the USS Kidd is the epitome of all Fletcher-Class destroyers, the foremost type of destroyer in W.W.II.  She incorporated many improvements over the earlier Fletchers, making her the most efficient and effective vessel of the destroyer fleet.  After proving her abilities, she joined Task Force 58 for the invasion of Okinawa, bombarding key targets, sinking floating mines, providing early warning of air raids, and shooting down kamikazes.
    The late professional modeler and historian Al Baker chose carefully when he selected the square-bridged Kidd for his exact replica.  Because the Kidd carried every weapon ever put onboard a Fletcher in W.W.II, this kit allows you to build the Fletcher-class destroyer of your choice.
    We believe this is the most accurate and comprehensive W.W.II naval model available.  We supply everything required to build the USS Kidd, except paint, glue, and tools.
    You receive precisely drawn plan sheets, a pre-carved basswood hull, hand-made basswood superstructures, 200 finely-cast Britannia metal fittings, 175 photo-etched brass parts, plus a clearly written 20-page instruction booklet.  You can easily build this model in a small space.
    An exciting and rewarding project for intermediate and advanced modelers.
