I just picked up the 1/350 waterline version of this. It is a very nice kit, only about 4" long. Does anyone have any info on this ship such as paint scheme? Any pictures of railings etc. would be helpful.

Here she is, I saw her just a few weeks ago and she was still in this scheme:

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

I think you may have the wrong subject. IIRC, the IMAI Winston Churchill kit is a tall ship.

The OP notes that the model is only about 4 inches long. A Burke-class destroyer is over 500 feet long. In the 1:350 scale noted, the model would be on the order of a foot and a half long.

Ed is right. Here is the one I am looking for. Although, the other one is pretty sharp too.

I built this kit about 10 years ago a friend has it.There was a color page that came with the model that was 1:1 scale for the model. This was pretty much spot on.Did you get one with your kit? Go to www.tallshipstock.com/winstonc.htm There's pictures of her last voyage in 2000. If you need a copy of that color page let me know.
