Modeling Fidelity and Showcase Potential

Trumpeter's 1/350 scale kit recreates the destroyers structural lines and deck fixtures with high fidelity. The finished model stretches to roughly 439mm, and the comprehensive parts count makes this a satisfying build for modellers focused on display accuracy.

The full-size Arleigh Burke displaces about 8,885 tons and exceeds 30 knots propelled by four LM2500-30 gas turbines. The kit reflects operational fittings including Mk 41 vertical launch systems and the Phalanx CIWS to represent the ship's combat layout.
