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

Lets try this again.

http://www.pacificfront.com/Catalog.asp

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.

They do exist,... somewhere.

1/700 scale

http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/ships/dd/DD-436/700-pr/monssen.html

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.

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

WWII Gleaves Class Destroyer

I want to build a model of USS Woolsey (DD-437) (Gleaves Class Destroyer). Does anyone know of a kit, in any scale of a Gleaves class Destroyer or a Benson class Destroyer? I've read the only visible exterior difference between the two is the Gleaves class has round stacks and the Benson class has flat
sided stacks. If there is a Benson class kit out there does anyone know were I might be able to purchase the proper stacks and decals?
