Another great Dragon model of the early Benson Class destroyer. This one will be converted to the previous Sims class.

HI!

 I haven't started mine yet, but I do think it will build into a nice model!

Is that a 350 or 700th?

How did you post this yesterday?

Most everyone else (including me) haven't replied for a week or more apparently because the forum isn't fixed yet.

Hi Don, it's a 1/350 scale kit. It has a lot of parts and like other Dragon kits has many extras for alternate versions. Dragon made six different boxings- prewar, early war and late war each with either Benson (flat sides) or Gleaves (rounded sides) stacks.

Thanks, Bill.

Answering previous question on posting, I find initial log-in to be a looong wait, though I have had only one 504 in last two weeks.

But once logged in, response seems to be normal.  That could be because traffic is so sparse now.  We'll see when traffic picks up.

I am seeing that, as well.  Site takes ages to load, but seems "normal" (if a touch "laggy") once "up."
