Title: model plans for Ticonderoga and Arleigh Burke US Destroyers
Post by: Hmshood on November 03, 2013, 08:45:52 pm

Hi,
 
Does anyone have any details on plans available for scale models of the above. Not too fussy on the scale as long as the overall size is between 1.5 - 2mtrs in overall length

According to http://www.hazegray.org/worldnav/ (http://www.hazegray.org/worldnav/) the first 28 Arleigh Burkes had no hangars; subsequent ships had them and were lengthened 5'.
 
Of course, one cannot have too many photos! O0
