WWII Gleaves Class Destroyer

Greetings: I too would like to find a kit of a Gleaves. I want to build the USS Jeffers DD-621/DMS-27. My dad was on board her from Nov 45 to Mar 46. Anyone out there that has built one or knows of a source, please pipe up. Thanx. Dave

They do exist,... somewhere.

1/700 scale

This link shows a picture of a model, but claims it is Out Of Production.

This site says
"Years ago, Blue Water Navy released a 1/350 scale kit for a WWII Benson class destroyer. The subject was USS Aaron Ward as of 1942"

Here we go,...

I don't know if they still make the kit, but it's listed there.
Contact them, and see what is up.

Good Luck.

Hmmm i think you will have to paste the entire link into your browser.

Lets try this again.

got to Resin Kits, MB models,/Bluewater Navy, 1/350 kits

see
USN DD Farenholt (Benson class)
USN DD Gwin (Benson class) 1943

Also look for this
CWB-12 Classic Warships Benson/Gleaves Class Destroyers
I think it may be a 1/700 kit

Wouldn't hurt to ask some questions.
