Description

U.S.S. Arleigh Burke, DDG-51 | Guided missile destroyer. Considered by many to be a break-through design, the Burke class of guided missile destroyers utilizes the highly sophisticated AEGIS radar system, as well as many other technological innovations that make them unique. All this and she still is a “pretty” ship-long, lean, and with a thoroughly modern silhouette Dr. Al Ross starting designing true multimedia model kits, with his very successful USS Maine, followed by the USS Olympia. Using the most modern techniques available to us, a carved, laminated basswood hull, over 600 acid etched brass parts, custom Britannia fittings, laser cut and resin parts, Al’s latest creation is indeed, impressive. Al’s reputation for accuracy is well displayed in this model. His plans are based upon the original US Navy Navsea plans! It is important to note that some pictured items may have been built with optional items not included as part of standard kits, such as pedestals, bases, cases, paint, etc. If there are any questions about the contents of a particular kit, please contact Bluejacket.
