Hobby Boss HB-82507 USS Kidd DDG-993 Compact Spruance-Class Model  [HB-82507]

Miniature Spruance-Class Destroyer USS Kidd DDG-993

The Hobby Boss HB-82507 recreates the USS Kidd DDG-993 at 1/1250 scale, capturing the engineering that defined the Spruance class. These destroyers were among the first to adopt gas turbine propulsion, using four LM-2500 engines to deliver 80,000 shaft horsepower and speeds exceeding 30 knots, boosting their anti-submarine and fleet escort roles. The small-scale kit highlights the class profile and major fittings for display-oriented builders.

Designed for hobbyists who appreciate naval history, this model reflects the Spruance-class service in operations like Desert Storm while providing a compact, detailed project for painting and display.
