Product: 1:700 USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG-1002)

The first-of-class USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000) was launched in October 2013, and eventually commissioned on 15 October 2016, while the second one USS Michael Monsoor (DDG-1001) was commissioned on 26 January 2019. The third and final one in this classs, USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG-1002), will also be commissioned in 2020. The type features a wave-piercing hull and sleek form to reduce its radar cross-section.

This kit permits modelers to build either USS Lyndon B. Johnson/USS Michael Monsoor, or Zumwalt DDG-1000. They are accurately produced in 1/700 scale and the kit features new toolings as befitting such a radical new design. As usual, both a waterline and a full hull are available. Dragon’s kit reflects the latest configuration of these destroyers. Slide molds are widely utilized, and parts separation is very smartly engineered so that the plastic kit masterfully replicates the unusual shape of this stealth destroyer. This item features completely new parts such as the top of the main superstructure, upgraded radars and two Mk 46 Mod 2 30mm cannons. In fact, these intricate elements are made by 3D printing, demonstrating just how state of the art this plastic kit actually is. Dragon is delighted to deliver this modern-day kit depicting a futuristic piece of naval engineering!

Product: 1:700 H.M.S. Type 42 Destroyer Batch 1-3

The Royal Navy built 14 separate guided-missile destroyers in its Type 42 class, and the type served from 1975 till 2013. Construction was actually separated into three batches. The first six destroyers in Batch 1 were commissioned from 1975-79. Batch 2 added four more destroyers from 1980-83, while the final third batch was also a quartet of ships commissioned from 1982-85. Each batch featured slight modifications. The Type 42’s operational peak was during the Falklands War of 1982, where seven destroyers deployed to the South Atlantic to help recapture the islands from Argentina. However, two of them – first-of-class HMS Sheffield, and the fourth vessel HMS Coventry – were hit and sunk by an Exocet air-to-surface missile and an iron bomb respectively. Another destroyer, HMS Glasgow, was also disabled by an unexploded bomb that passed through the aft engine room.

Dragon’s latest 1/700 scale ship model represents the entire class of Royal Navy Type 42 destroyers. Indeed, it can be described as a 3-in-1 kit since either of the three production batches can be built. Ship modelers can examine each of the batch types in turn, and then build whichever one catches their fancy. Furthermore, a range of Cartograf decals allows model-makers to also select which vessel within the class they want to depict. In addition to the wonderfully well-engineered plastic parts, there’s an upgraded set of photo-etched components that elevate this kit to a whole new level of finesse. This 3-in-1 1/700 destroyer kit is superbly specified to give the modeler the widest range of options possible.

Product: 1:700 USS GabrielleGiffords LCS-10 w/NSM

USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS-10) is the fifth Independence-class LCS to be built, and it is homeported at San Diego as part of Littoral Combat Ship Squadron One. The most notable thing about LCS-10 is that it is the first to be equipped with Naval Strike Missiles (NSM), an anti-ship and land attack weapon manufactured by Norwegian firm Kongsberg. It was first seen equipped with these missiles when it deployed to the Western Pacific en route to Singapore in 2019. The NSM gives this particular LCS far greater punch and firepower.

The kit is based on a previous release of USS Independence, in which the sharp and angular silhouette of the ship is captured perfectly. Of course, this rendition of LCS-10 has been updated with the requisite new parts to represent the twin bow-mounted quad-pack launchers for the NSM, as well as additional radar and Mk-46 30mm gun system above the bridge superstructure. Slide-mold technology is widely employed, and modelers can elect to produce a waterline or full-hull model. The kit includes an MH-60S helicopter and MQ-8 Fire Scout rotary-winged unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) too. Furthermore, there is a generous selection of photo-etched parts to finish off this fine model of LCS-10 that is now armed to the teeth!

Product: 1:700 USS Buchanan DD-484 (Smart Kit)

Dragon has drawn together a trio of 1/700 scale plastic warships from WWII. In fact, they’re all destroyers, representing three warships of the US Navy (USN) that fought in the Pacific. When war engulfed the USA in December 1941, the USN had 100 modern destroyers. However, with greater dangers presented by submarines and aircraft, destroyers grew in size in order to accommodate better weapons and radars and to provide greater survivability throughout the war.

Each of these kits allows modelers to choose either of two ship options since the appropriate components and decals are all included in the box. They fought in the ferocious Pacific battles, some being lost in combat and others present for the surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay in 1945. Aircraft carriers might gain a lot of the limelight for their role in the Pacific War, but destroyers to escort them were critical assets too.

Cyber-Hobby is releasing another ship kit, this time of USS New York (LPD-21), the fifth San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock vessel to be built. The highly detailed kit is made in 1/700 scale. This kit’s being launched to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, as the original ship has a close connection to that tragic day ten years ago. USS New York was partially constructed from 6.8 tons of steel salvaged from the rubble of the World Trade Centre in New York, and it was specifically named in memory of victims of the September 11 attack. Constructed by Northrop Grumman Ship Systems, this LPD can carry up to 700 Marines as well as LCAC hovercraft and MV-22B Osprey aircraft. USS New York was commissioned into the US Navy on November 7, 2009.

USS New York is a brand new tooling from Cyber-Hobby. The model comes with two hulls that allow either a waterline or full-hull version to be built. There is widespread use of slide-mold technology in the creation of this plastic ship, which results in a model that’s easy to assemble but yet one that doesn’t lack any essential detail. The hull is slide molded as a single component, and parts are cleverly separated to ensure maximum detail. The main superstructure, for example, is a single piece. An assortment of photo-etched parts includes items like the safety net around the landing deck. Cyber-Hobby also supplies helicopters, an LCAC hovercraft and even MV-22 Ospreys to populate the 1/700 scale replica. With a ship model that’s a breeze to assemble, USS New York is ready to take on terrorist or state enemies anywhere!

USS Longbeach (CGN 9) is a unique ship, principally because it was the only vessel in her class. And what US Navy class was she in? The Longbeach was a nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser commissioned on September 9 1961. It also had the distinction of being the USA’s first all-new cruiser design since WWII, and since cruisers since then have generally been based simply on up-scaled destroyer hulls, her crew aptly described her as "The Only Real Cruiser." USS Longbeach had a pair of 5-inch 38-calibre guns mounted amidships, and at the time of her decommissioning in July 1994, the upgraded cruiser had two Standard Missile launchers, two Tomahawk

Product: 1:700 Guided Missile Destroyer (Premium)

About This Title:
Intended as a follow-on to the Forrest Sherman class destroyers the ship was originally designated as DD-952. Outwardly similar to the Sherman class, Charles F. Adams was the first U.S. Navy ship designed from the keel up to launch anti-aircraft missiles. To reflect the increased capabilities of the ship and to distinguish it from previous destroyer designs, Charles F. Adams was re-designated DDG-2 prior to the ship's launching.

Product: 1:700 H.M.S. DRAGON Type 45 Destroyer B2

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, this is the Year of the Dragon. Therefore, Cyber Hobby is celebrating the occasion with a 1/700 scale ship kit of HMS Dragon! This Royal Navy vessel is the fourth Type 45 air defense destroyer. HMS Daring was the lead ship of this new class, the UK’s first new destroyer type since the 1970s. A total of six ships are being constructed. Dragon was launched by BAE Systems Naval Ships in November 2008 and she is due for commissioning in the spring of 2012. The destroyer has a sleek and smooth profile designed to provide a low radar cross-section, and these Daring-class air warfare destroyers are among the world’s most advanced of their type. Their combat systems are based around the SAMPSON multifunction radar, S1850M 3-D air surveillance radar and Sea Viper missile system (with 48 Aster 15 and 30 air defense missiles and Sea Skua anti-ship missiles).
With recent items like LCS-1 and LCS-2, Dragon’s 1/700 scale ship kits have met an enthusiastic response from modelers. Following on from a 1/700 scale plastic kit of the first-of-class HMS Daring, now comes an upgraded and identically scaled HMS Dragon. Parts are formed from molds created by the very latest in technological and engineering design. The ship is reproduced in full detail, and the stealthy exterior is accurately proportioned. The enclosed radar tower is a sophisticated item, with various antennas extending from it at the correct angles. Lethal weapon systems like the 4.5-inch gun and air defense system are also supplied in remarkable detail. The kit includes a brand new Westland Merlin HM1 helicopter. Cartograf also offers red dragon markings for her bow, making this a true namesake of Dragon!
