The Dragon 1032 USS Benson DD-421 1/350 scale plastic model kit is a highly detailed replica of the American Benson-class destroyer, which played a vital role during World War II. This product is designed for advanced modelers seeking a faithful recreation of both the deck details and the original ship's armament.

The USS Benson DD-421 was the first ship in the Benson-class destroyer series, commissioned into the United States Navy in 1940. Destroyers of this type participated in numerous naval operations in both the Atlantic and Pacific, taking part in some of the most critical campaigns of World War II. They escorted convoys, supported amphibious landings, and fought in anti-submarine warfare. The USS Benson earned multiple commendations for its combat service and was in use from 1940 to 1949, seeing action from World War II through the postwar period.

The Dragon 1032 model is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring durability and sharp detail. The set includes numerous precisely reproduced elements such as anti-aircraft guns, torpedo launchers, lifeboats, as well as distinctive superstructures and masts. Advanced injection molding technology ensures that all parts fit together very well, making the assembly process much easier.

This plastic model kit does not include glue or paints, allowing the modeler to choose their own palette of historical colors and use their preferred painting techniques. While the kit does not come with photo-etched parts or resin accessories, the large number of plastic details allows for a high level of realism.
