About product

USS Hopper DDG-70 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 under the bow is a separate part and the kit offers a full-hull as well as a waterline version. The box holds two SH-60B helicopters, one with the rotor turning and one with it folded, as well as the Mk 45 gun, close-in weapon systems and a stand.

The real subject

USS Hopper belongs to the early Flight I subversion of the Arleigh Burke class, which is distinguished from the later ships by a stern without helicopter hangars. Construction began in 1995 and the ship entered service in 1997; her home port is Pearl Harbor. She is named after a distinguished officer of the US Navy who made her mark on the history of computing. The basis of the combat value is the Aegis system and the vertical launching cells.

Building and painting tips

Choose in advance between a model on a stand and a waterline form, because the way the lower part of the hull is glued differs. Apply the gray shades with an airbrush in thin coats, otherwise the fine engraved details of the superstructures will be lost. Mark out the flight deck at the stern with a mask, not with a brush. Fit the radar faces, antennas and the mast only after the basic painting is finished.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of the modern American war fleet
  • Modelers who want to compare the older and newer subversions of the Arleigh Burke class
  • Anyone interested in a quick build of a smaller display case model
  • Builders of waterline dioramas

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