Scale Replica of USS Cushing DD-797

The USS Cushing (DD-797) was an active Fletcher-class destroyer during WWII, finishing construction in 1944 and participating in operations like Leyte Gulf. This waterline model captures the ship's wartime fit, including strengthened anti-aircraft armament and the late-war square bridge profile, offering an accurate small-scale piece for hobby display.

The kit models the destroyers main features in detail: five 12.7cm main guns, a quintuple 533mm torpedo launcher, and comprehensive AA installations. Fine radar arrays and fittings are provided to enhance authenticity. Ship number and US flag decals are included to match period markings.

Build Notes and Finished Presentation

Instructions include painting suggestions to recreate US Navy camouflage and rigging hints for a neat finish. The model is rewarding to finish and presents well on a shelf or as part of a small naval collection.
