H.M.A.S “Perth” – Destroyer D-38

R.A.N. Destroyer
The “Perth” class destroyers were modified “Charles F. Adams” class guided missile destroyers operated by the Royal Australian Navy (R.A.N).
H.M.A.S. “Perth”, “Hobart”, and “Brisbane” were the first guided missiled-armed warships, and the first naval ships of United States design, to enter service with the R.A.N.
All three ships operated during the Vietnam War, while “Brisbane” also participated in the Gulf War.
The class was decommissioned between 1999 and 2001, with all three vessels later sunk as dive wrecks.
This “Premium Edition” kit from Dragon includes 5 detailed plastic sprues, a photo-etched sprue (for railings, radar units and antenna) and a comprehensive water slide decal sheet.
There are markings for over 30 versions of the “Charles F. Adams” class, including the R.A.N. Ships:
D-38 H.M.A.S. “Perth”
D-39 H.M.A.S. “Hobart”
D-41 H.M.A.S. “Brisbane”
