Trumpeter 1/350 scale USS The Sullivans DD-537 historic destroyer model

The Trumpeter 1/350 USS The Sullivans DD-537 kit is aimed at hobbyists interested in naval history and accurate modelling. The vessel commemorates the five Sullivan brothers lost on USS Juneau, was launched in 1943 and earned nine World War II battle stars plus two from the Korean War.

Operational History and Presentation

During service the destroyer performed plane guard duties, carried out shore bombardments and engaged in anti-kamikaze actions. The model reproduces these wartime roles and is well suited to display on a shelf or in a glass case. Choose waterline or full hull assembly to match your preferred presentation style.

Kit Content and Build Considerations

Built to 1:350 scale the finished model measures 328 mm long and 34 mm across the beam. The kit comprises 174 plastic components on 12 sprues plus separate hull and deck parts. No metal, resin or photo-etched parts are included; decal sheets cover 1943 and 1945 markings for authentic finishes.

The kit provides the basic masts and fittings but rigging cord is not supplied, so plan to use fine thread or rigging wire for realistic results.
Decals are included for 1943 and 1945 configurations, and the plastic parts can be painted to represent either wartime or postwar finishes.
This is a static display model and not designed for RC conversion without major modification to the hull and internal layout.
