USS Pickney with "chipmunk cheeks"

Posted by Lars on July 24, 2026, 9:14:35

USS Pinckney (DDG-91) got the SEWIP III modernisation including AN/SLQ-32(V)7. As result she got "chipmunk cheeks".

There is now a conversion set in 1/700 featuring the modified bridge:
USS Pickney bridge

I think that HobbyBoss' USS Momsen kit would be the best starting point for a conversion to the modernised Pickney. There are still some other modifications necessary. I think the door of the former drone hangar was removed, the rear Phalanx and its base have to added and there is an additional communication antenna on the hangar.
