Omaha Beach Destroyers question

I don't know which would be closer to the specific destroyers in question, but the Gleaves kits that have been released include the Buchanan and Livermore

To follow-up on Tracy's post  

Check the armament section for the Gleaves/Livermore sub-class at destroyerhistory.org

 Research your potential subjects for their armament load-out during the period of interest.    The '45 Buchanan may be closer to your desired configuration

You two gents are the ones I was hoping would point me in the right direction. Thank you for the assistance. The few photos I could find of each ship around that time period showed late war AA configuration. And I had completely forgotten about the Cybermodeler 1945 USS Buchanan. That looks like the perfect kit for the round bridge ones such as USS Carmick.

Are there any conversion items out there for a square bridge Gleaves?

You're welcome.

Admiralty Model Works has just released a square-bridge conversion set for the Dragon kits.

It made its debut at the IPMS Nats last month.  Extremely well done.
