This is Dragon's Benson/Gleaves class as USS Hobson late 1942. I did this one as Hobson because of the unique camo pattern. Mostly OOB, but with Master Model Oerlikons, and Gold Medal PE. Crew figures are froml'Arsenal.

Another very nice build of yours, again placed in an outstanding diorama that truly brings it to life!!

Fantastic work!

Thanks! I have to say, though, that my water is not too convincing. These were models I built several years ago, and wasn't doing water very well then. I have gotten better since!
