1/350 USS Swanson DD-443 (DML)
USS Swanson DD-443 as she appeared in the Mediterranean in 1943. I modified the Buchanan kit by Dragon with extensive scratch building, plus PE by Tom's Modelworks and weapons by L'Arsenal. Mast is made of soldered brass rods. Model Masters provided the paints. Apoxie Sculpt makes great blast bags for the 5-inch weapons.
