USS Forrest Sherman Destroyer

This kit is a very old Revell kit. The hull is 1 piece the shafts rudders and props give no problems. The guns well they use a technique that's not good. A tub is molded on the deck you put the gun in the terret and then put turret on the tub thus squeezing the gun in position. Problem is the caps holding the turret down allow way too much play which allows the gun to rattle loose. I sometimes can get the system to work but it's hit or miss. So i just glue that gun mount down problem solved. The guns elevate and all gun mounts turn. The 3' 50's do not elevate and the detail for them is lacking. The kit was missing 1 anchor and the molding for the reload depth charge rack was a total loss so just did without them still looks very good when done. This kit was made when kids put there models in the tub. With a little ballast this kit will be a handsome bath tub warrior.
