                        Uhm...let's see... yesterday I had Mt. Dew and Oreos for lunch, then modeled for 14 straight hours.

                        That's all I have.

                        Glennon (DD-620) is a Gleaves class DD.

                        You're in luck...Chris Decker at Trident Hobbies just informed me a few minutes ago that a 1/350 resin kit of the Gleaves will be ready in a few weeks.

                        Drop him an email at cdecker@tridenthobbies.com and he'll give all the intel.

                        Destroyer Glennon DD-620
                        Posted by Paul N. Adams on Thursday, March 23, 2006 1:34 PM
                        My uncle was a sailor in the US Navy and served on the destroyer USS Glennon DD-620 during WWII. The ship had it's stern blown off by a mine just off of Utah Beach during the D-Day invasion. A German shore battery sank it a couple of days later as it sat dead in the water. My uncle lived through the incident and is still doing well in Miner, Illinois. I believe the ship was a Gleaves Class Destroyer, but I am not sure. Can anyone verify that for me? Does anyone know where I can get a model of this class of destroyer and what scale it might be? Also, does anyone know where I can get drawings (front, side and top views) of this class of destroyer. Any help will be greatly appriciated.
