hello all,
in my new issue of FineScale Modeler,Dragon has a new smart kit.
it is a Gleaves Class Destroyer,the USS Buchanan,DD-484 1942 in 1/350 scale.it looks like alot of PE and some masks for it.
i do not have a price,so i guess that one of the staff might be able to get more info.
cheers,
Bruce

Bruce,
Kenny had a news story on that one posted. I had seen a couple places with per-orders but no prices, yet. Yes, this will be on my "To get list." She will look great along side my USS Sullivans.

hello Jim,
Duh, know that i reread the story posted,i remember it.
cheers,
Bruce

The MSRP can be found on Dragon's site; I don't recall exactly but I believe the base version will be around $46 MSRP. There will be premium editions out later. Dragon will be releasing multiple Benson/Gleaves destroyers in different time periods and fits. I can't comment much more than to say that there are going to be a lot of very happy modelers out there soon.

hello all,
Free Time Hobbies have it listed for preorder for around $35.99.i am going to put in my preorder.
cheers,
Bruce

I might have to add one fo those. Thanks for the head sup Bruce.

Too many kits, so little time... I am "kit-buyed-out" for the next few years.... stash hit the ceiling cap of same number of boxes as shoes in the closets of my wife and 2 teen daughters
