USS Arleigh Burke DDG-51 1/350 Plastic Model Kit - Trumpeter 04523  [TP04523]

Kit briefing: Trumpeter 04523 USS Arleigh Burke DDG-51 in 1/350

The Trumpeter 04523 1/350 plastic kit recreates the US Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) as a detailed external scale model intended for display and accurate reference within a modelling collection.

USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) is the lead ship of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, named for Admiral Arleigh A. Burke. Laid down in December 1988 and commissioned in July 1991, the class was designed for multi-role surface warfare with emphasis on air defense, anti-submarine warfare, and strike operations. The class features gas-turbine propulsion, vertical launch systems, and advanced radar and combat systems for modern naval missions.

At 1/350 scale the kit reproduces hull form, superstructure contours, and deck fittings. The sprue layout and parts count are configured to provide a detailed representation of the ship profile and common deck equipment. Builders can apply the supplied decals for national markings and opt for aftermarket upgrades to boost fidelity. The stated dimensions and parts total are useful when planning display stands and storage space.

The Trumpeter 04523 kit provides a high level of external detail and a sizable parts list for modellers aiming to build a display-grade modern destroyer subject.
