Description

The U.S.S. Gearing (DD-710) was the lead ship of a class of destroyers. The destroyer was 119.1m long and had a beam of 12.22m. Crewed by 336 sailors, it had six 5-inch guns, 12 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 11 20mm anti-aircraft guns, plus a complement of torpedoes.

The new 1/350 kit shows the U.S.S. Gearing as it appeared in 1945. In this large scale, all kinds of amazing details are shown. This kit features all-new parts such as the hull and superstructure. The distinctive 5-inch gun turrets are accurately rendered by three-directional slide moulds. Meanwhile, other fantastic details such as the twin 40mm anti-aircraft guns, 20mm guns and searchlights are inherited from Dragon’s series of Gleaves class destroyers. As well as the highly-refined plastic components, there is a generous selection of photo-etched parts to enhance detail and add a refined look. There are even half a dozen miniature sailors to give life to the vessel. This exciting new kit of the USS Gearing keeps up the momentum of the warship revolution that Dragon has begun!
