Thanks, Dane

<<SNIP>>   ... I'm thinking the Trumpeter/PitRoad joint venture Cannon mod of the Buckley is the source of the stack.  Plus a few other minor swap-outs.  Or start with the Trump/PitRoad Cannon and cut down the bridge and find some donor 5"/38s

1/249 Buckley  Revell

1/350 USS England Trumpeter

vmi1966

lookig for DE model ---  leyte gulf time frame -  samual b roberts -  or of same scale

Same scale as what?

In 1:700 you can find a Butler-class DE from PitRoad.

In 1:350 things get more difficult,  you will have to mingle a couple of kits to get there;  The ISW Rudderow will be the basis (low-bridge DE) and you'll have to find a suitable replacement stack.   I'm thinking the Trumpeter/PitRoad joint venture Cannon mod of the Buckley is the source of the stack.  Plus a few other minor swap-outs.  Or start with the Trump/PitRoad Cannon and cut down the bridge and find some donor 5"/38s

in 1:192 scale Blue Jacket makes a wood, white metal, & PE Sammy B.
