However, Dragon’s kit has a few pleasant surprises in store. The most important point is that it’s a 1+1 kit! This means there’s not just a single destroyer in the box, but two complete models are enclosed (one with a waterline hull and the other with a full hull). This allows modelers to make a 1/700 scale kit of the USS Laffey AND USS Woodworth. Another special feature is that this is the first Smart Kit in Dragon’s 1/700 sea power series, with all the associated advantages of slide molds, advanced engineering and sheer convenience. The USS Laffey (DD-459) was commissioned on 31 March 1942 and was dispatched to the Pacific. It helped rescue survivors from the USS Wasp, before later engaging in a fierce battle near Guadalcanal. In the battle on 13 November 1942, Laffey took on a Japanese battleship and two destroyers at point-blank range before succumbing to the enemy’s superior gunfire. The USS Laffey was sunk with heavy loss of life. On the other hand, the USS Woodworth (DD-460) was commissioned one month after the Laffey. Serving in the Pacific theater, the USS Woodworth had a busy time in numerous engagements with Japanese aircraft, a cruiser, destroyers, ground artillery and a submarine. After surviving the war, this destroyer was subsequently transferred to the Italian Navy. Since the design of these plastic kits is based on a larger 1/350 kit, these new ships benefit from unprecedented levels of detail. There are photo-etched metal parts (for example, funnel ladders, bridge supports). Modelers can produce both the Laffey and Woodworth, with decal markings provided for both vessels. Since the box contains one waterline hull and one full hull, modelers can decide which ship will receive the relevant hull. With this 1+1 set, there are two very good reasons inside the box for ship modelers to acquire these important WWII destroyers! <LI>SKU: DML7086 <LI>Ordering History: 6-D6 <LI>Date First Stocked: 11/9/2009 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://store.spruebrothers.com/Category17" TITLE="Naval">Naval</A> / <A HREF="http://store.spruebrothers.com/Category43" TITLE="Kits">Kits</A> / <A HREF="http://store.spruebrothers.com/Category172" TITLE="1/400 Scale or Smaller">1/400 Scale or Smaller</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://store.spruebrothers.com/Product16723 TITLE="1:471 Revell Germany Classics USS Hope Hospital Ship #00007">1:471 Revell Germany Classics USS Hope Hospital Ship #00007</A> -- 1:471 Revell Germany Classics USS Hope Hospital Ship #00007 <LI><A HREF=http://store.spruebrothers.com/Product20527 TITLE="1:481 Revell Monogram USS Helena Heavy Cruiser #850370">1:481 Revell Monogram USS Helena Heavy Cruiser #850370</A> -- 1:481 Revell Monogram USS Helena Heavy Cruiser #850370 <LI><A HREF=http://store.spruebrothers.com/Product8186 TITLE="1:700 Bronco Models Kang Ding Class Frigate #N7001">1:700 Bronco Models Kang Ding Class Frigate #N7001</A> -- 1:700 Bronco Models Kang Ding Class Frigate #N7001 <LI><A HREF=http://store.spruebrothers.com/Product174 TITLE="1:700 Dragon DDG USS Arleigh Burke #7029">1:700 Dragon DDG USS Arleigh Burke #7029</A> -- 1:700 Dragon DDG USS Arleigh Burke #7029 <LI><A HREF=http://store.spruebrothers.com/Product175 TITLE="1:700 Dragon German Battleship Bismarck #7043">1:700 Dragon German Battleship Bismarck #7043</A> -- 1:700 Dragon German Battleship Bismarck #7043 <LI><A HREF=http://store.spruebrothers.com/Product176 TITLE="1:700 Dragon German Battleship Bismarck ~ Premium Edition #7060">1:700 Dragon German Battleship Bismarck ~ Premium Edition #7060</A> -- 1:700 Dragon German Battleship Bismarck ~ Premium Edition #7060 <LI><A HREF=http://store.spruebrothers.com/Product17975 TITLE="1:700 Dragon German Battleship Tirpitz ~ Premium Edition #7081">1:700 Dragon German Battleship Tirpitz ~ Premium Edition #7081</A> -- 1:700 Dragon German Battleship Tirpitz ~ Premium Edition #7081 <LI><A HREF=http://store.spruebrothers.com/Product11970 TITLE="1:700 Dragon H.M.S.
