Anybody know of these kits? What intrigues me is they have early, pre-war, US Destroyers. Something I haven't seen in plastic before. They are a bit pricey, about $18 for a 1/700 scale can, but certainly cheaper than resin.

I'm asking mainly for others, I don't think I'll be making too many 1/700 kits anymore. A bit small for me.

I have all four of them (I'm a member of Trident's Admirals Club). They are decent - reminds me of early Skywave efforts. There are supposed to be some inaccuracies, but if you want pre/early WW2 USN DD's, they are the only game in town. Chris Decker mentioned there was supposed to be a dedicated photo-etch set released, but I've heard nothing of that lately.

There is a comprehensive review over on Steel Navy:

As for the price, I thought $18 each was reasonable for a 700th scale kit. Skywave 700th scale kits can go for $35-$65, depending on the subject.
