USS Juneau (Atlanta Class)

Kit # DC102    $26.00


The second of 4 ships in the Atlanta class,  Juneau took part in the night battles surrounding Guadalcanal in 1942. She was lost on November 13, 1942. Lost with her were all five Sullivan brothers. The fate of the Sullivans led to a policy change in assigning family members to the same ship.
The Sullivans (DD-537) was named to honor their memory.

The DML kit is the newest plastic kit of this ship on the market today. Measuring 9.5" long, this kit is highly detailed. The upper hull is cast as a single piece casting split at the waterline. (build full hull or waterline model) All the large parts, turrets, bridge and smoke stacks are cast in plastic.  An extensive photo-etched brass sheet is included to finish the kit.
