Description from Flyhawk Model:
The Wickes class destroyers are the first batch of the famous "Flush Decker" with 4 funnels. They are the outcome of massive US military expansion in WWI. There are 111 Wickes destroyers that took part in 2 World Wars which were developed based on the Caldwell class.
The Wickes class destroyer, USS Ward DD-139 was launched on May 24, 1918, but didn't have any chances to perform in WWI. When WWII burst out, large amounts of ships were recommissioned, including the USS Ward DD-139 on January 15th 1941. This model represents her status during the period of the attack on Pearl Harbor on July 7th 1941, where she sank a Japanese midget submarine. However, she didn't survive the Japanese Kamikaze Attack in the Philippine Sea on November 7th 1944 - 3 years after the Pearl Harbor invasion.
Includes photo-etched parts and decals.
