-A plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the USS Chevalier DD-805, a gearing-class destroyer that was built in World War II and was still active after the war, on a 1/350 scale.
[About the actual ship]
--The Gearing-class destroyer was built in large numbers by the US military after the start of World War II.
--Designed as an improved version of the Allen M. Sumner class, which evolved from the Fletcher class, and began deployment in 1945, just before the end of the war.
――One of the nearly 100 ships built is Schwarrier, which went into service in January 1945.
――In addition to participating in the Battle of Wake Island, on August 26, I entered Tokyo Bay to handle the end of the war.
--After retiring from the US Navy in 1972, he was recommissioned to the South Korean Navy.
――Until you retired in 2000 under the name of Chungbuk, you continued to play an active role.
――The total length is 119m, the standard displacement is 2425 tons, and it is equipped with two general electric geared turbines, demonstrating a maximum speed of 32 knots.
--In addition, the main gun was equipped with three 38 caliber 5-inch twin turrets.
[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Gearing-class destroyer Shavaria on a 1/350 scale.
-The kit can be assembled by selecting either the full hull model that reproduces up to the bottom of the ship or the offshore model that reproduces above the waterline.
――I'm looking forward to the sleek ship shape unique to destroyers.
――The upper part of the hull is a slide mold that firmly reproduces the shape and details on the side.
-The deck superstructure is attractive for mechanical reproduction such as the bridge, chimneys and masts, main turret and radar.
-The 5-inch gun of the main gun has the muzzle of the barrel opened to enhance the feeling.
――In addition, weapons such as 40mm Mk.4 twin guns, quadruple guns, 20mm twin guns and depth charges installed on the stern also produce a dense finish with a sharp mold.
--Etched parts such as radar, gun shield, railing, ramp, and ship door are also set.
-A display stand in the full hull state is also included.
