Round 2 has reissued Lindberg’s classic USN “Blue Devil” destroyer.
This kit is a reissue of
Lindberg’s USS Melvin (DD-680), or
“Blue Devil” Fletcher class destroyer kit. At 1/125 scale, it makes for an impressive three foot long model – a real “dream kit” for many of us as kids in the 1960s!
According to
Round 2, who have been reissuing many of these old Lindberg kits:
