About product

USS Forrest Sherman DDG-98 in 1:700 scale from Hobby Boss

An injection-molded plastic kit of a modern American guided missile destroyer in 1:700 scale. The upper part of the hull is shaped by a multi-directionally split mold, the sonar dome is a separate part and there is a choice of a full-hull or a waterline form. The box holds an SH-60B helicopter, a stand and a nameplate.

The real subject

USS Forrest Sherman belongs to the Flight IIA subversion of the Arleigh Burke class, which is distinguished from the older ships by two hangars for shipboard helicopters at the stern. She entered service in 2006 and is named after an admiral who led the US Navy at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s. The combat value is set by the Aegis system with its large flat arrays on the superstructure, the vertical launching cells and the gun on the bow.

Building and painting tips

Make the choice between the stand and the waterline plate before you start gluing the hull. The uniform gray of modern ships invites a dull result, so distinguish the shade of the deck from the sides and lightly bring out the vertical seams and the drainage streaks. Mask the radar faces of the Aegis system so that they have sharp edges. Fit the antennas, the mast and the fine booms only after the painting is finished.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of the modern American war fleet
  • Modelers who build the whole family of Arleigh Burke destroyers
  • Anyone interested in a smaller model with a quick build
  • Builders of waterline dioramas with a sea surface

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
