Dragon released 1/350 scale injection-molded kits of Gleaves-class destroyers in
2008, and these have been hugely popular. 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 new 1/350 kit shows the U.S.S. Gearing as it appeared in 1945. In this large
scale, all kinds of amazing details are shown. This kit features
all-new parts
such as the hull and superstructure. The distinctive 5-inch gun turrets are
accurately rendered by three-directional slide molds. Meanwhile, other fantastic
details such as the twin 40mm antiaircraft guns, 20mm guns and searchlights are
inherited from Dragon’s series of Gleaves-class destroyers. As well as the
highly-refined plastic components, there is a generous selection of photo-etched
parts to enhance detail and add a refined look. There are even half a dozen
miniature sailors to give life to the vessel. This exciting new kit of the USS
Gearing keeps up the momentum of the warship revolution that Dragon has begun!
