Build Characteristics and Collector Appeal

Trumpeter's 1/350 scale kit faithfully renders the ship's profile and deck detail. With an overall length near 439mm and close to 400 parts, the kit provides a detailed assembly suited to collectors and experienced modellers.

The active-duty Arleigh Burke has a displacement around 8,885 tons and can surpass 30 knots powered by four LM2500-30 gas turbines. This model mirrors operational elements such as the Mk 41 VLS and the Phalanx CIWS to reflect the destroyer's combat equipment.
