The USS The Sullivans (DD-537) stands as a tribute to the five Sullivan brothers lost on the cruiser Juneau in World War II. This Trumpeter 1:700 kit recreates the destroyer with careful proportions, making it a solid pick for collectors focused on Pacific theatre vessels.

Operational History and Honours

Commissioned after its April 4, 1943 launch, The Sullivans took part in a range of Pacific operations. It performed plane guard duties, shore bombardments and anti-Kamikaze patrols around Okinawa. The destroyer was awarded nine WWII battle stars and an additional two during the Korean conflict.

The kit offers flexible presentation as either a waterline or full hull model. With 121 plastic components arranged over seven sprues and detailed hull parts, builders can expect a deliberate yet enjoyable assembly that produces an accurate miniature warship.
