Dragon 1:350 scale USS Kidd DDG-993 1014 scale model kit

This 1/350 scale kit replicates the USS Kidd (DDG-993), the lead ship of a unique class of guided-missile destroyers. Originally commissioned for the Iranian Navy (and informally known as the "Ayatollah class"), these ships were acquired by the US Navy after the 1979 revolution. Based on the Spruance-class hull, they were heavily modified with advanced air-defense capabilities for operations in the Persian Gulf.

Distinctive Configuration: Accurately reproduces the Kidd-class specific layout, distinguishing it from the standard Spruance-class by the inclusion of heavy anti-air warfare weaponry and upgraded masts.

Heavy Armament: Features precise replicas of the twin-arm Mk 26 guided missile launchers (located fore and aft), two 5-inch/54 caliber Mark 45 lightweight guns, and quadruple Harpoon missile canisters.

Superstructure Detail: The superstructure is intricately molded to capture the complex array of radar domes (including the SPS-48 3D radar), bridge windows, and mast structures.

Photo-Etched Parts: Includes a fret of photo-etched metal parts for fine detailing, such as deck railings, radar components, and safety nets.

Hull Presentation: Designed with a full hull option including detailed propellers, rudders, and sonar dome.

Decals: High-quality Cartograf decals provided for ship markings and hull numbers.
