USS Arleigh Burke DDG-51 is the first ship in the modern class of guided missile destroyers. The vessel was launched in 1989 and entered service in 1991, bearing the name of Admiral Arleigh A. Burke. The ship is equipped with advanced combat systems, including Mk 41 guided missile launchers, as well as anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems. It has taken part in operations in the Middle East and is one of the pillars of the USA’s global fleet presence.

The model was designed using multi-directional slide molds, which allow for separation of the hull into lower and upper sections, as well as precise representation of the sonar dome. The included photo-etched parts allow you to build a highly impressive model with remarkable detail in a small scale. The set also offers the choice between a full hull or a model set on a waterline base.
