USS Josephus Daniels DLG-27 as built in 1965- image shows first painted model without decals which haven't arrived just yet. Expect hull numbers and helicopter pad markings.
This is a 3D printed master by Darius Lipinsk cast in metal with production work by Norbert Bröcher of Rhenania.
This will be the first of a multi-model series covering the Belknap class. More on those plans later but expect to see a 1970s as updated version, a 1980s final fit and USS Belknap as rebuilt following her disastrous fire.
This particular casting can only represent DLG-27 as the macks and masts are slightly different than the other ships. Norbert is considering offering a revised version that could cover the other ships as built. If you really want another ship letting us know would influence that decision.
First production models will be available at Kassel direct from Norbert. 1250Ships.com stock will ship shortly after the show and I expect to have them in July. They will also be available in Europe from a variety of dealers.
