Description

This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

Dari Gengen Model 1/350 USS Smith DD-17.

The Smith-class destroyer is a class of destroyers in the United States Navy. In 1903, the U.S. Navy developed a long-term plan to deploy one destroyer for every battleship in the fleet for defense.

This plan led to the construction of destroyers with excellent seaworthiness, and the Smith-class was built under this initiative. Five ships of this class were constructed and were in service during World War I, but were decommissioned after only 11 years of service. The USS Smith was the lead ship of the Smith-class, and its name was given in honor of Captain Joseph B. Smith, who died in the Battle of Hampton Roads during the American Civil War as a crew member aboard the Monitor.

The ship was laid down in 1908, launched in 1909, and commissioned in November of the same year.

• The kit includes an injection-molded hull, 3D-printed parts, photo-etched components, brass turned parts, paint masking, and decals.
• Includes a photo-etched assembly display stand.
