NOW HEAR THIS!

ATTENTION ON DECK!

BlueJacket is proud to announce that our newest kit, in development, is the USS ARLEIGH BURKE, DDG-51. The anticipated release date of this kit is Late Spring, 2008. If you are interested in following the progress of the development of this kit, please refer to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DDG51/

ARLEIGH BURKE is the class leader of our navy’s guided missile destroyer fleet. One of her major innovations is the sophisticated AEGIS radar system. She features a stealthy, modern silhouette and is considered a break-through design.

BlueJacket’s kit is being designed by Dr. Al Ross, with a carved, laminated wood hull, and will feature multi-media materials in the manner of our most recent kits.

Built at the Bath Iron Works, Bath, ME, DDG-51 is 504’ 7” LOA. Our kit will be scaled to 1/16”=1’ (1:192), yielding a model 31.5.”
