The Smith-class subject brings the narrow hull, four-funnel profile and compact deck arrangement of an early twentieth-century warship to a naval model collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Destroyer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUSS Smith entered service in 1909 and served during World War I. As the lead ship of the Smith class, DD-17 offers a subject from the development of American destroyers before the larger fleets of World War II. Its proportions and arrangement provide a useful contrast with later destroyer and battleship designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKit Features and Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjection-molded plastic components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D-printed resin detail parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurned brass parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeck mask\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecal sheet and assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilding and Displaying Your Model\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of plastic, resin, etched metal and turned brass makes this a project that benefits from a planned assembly sequence. Check the instructions before attaching deck fittings, and choose adhesives suitable for each material. Dry-fit the hull and deck, then work in subassemblies so fine parts can be handled and painted without repeatedly moving the completed model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the Smith for an early U.S. Navy collection or a display comparing warship types at a consistent 1\/350 scale. A destroyer and a battleship occupy very different amounts of space even at the same scale; use the subject and scale together when planning your display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an unassembled model kit. Assembly and painting are required.
