1/350 USS Albert W. Grant DD-649 (Tamiya)
DD-649 USS Albert W. Grant as she appeared in the Battle for Leyte Gulf
in October of 1944. Ship is painted in Measure 32/21d
camouflage pattern.
Model is another Tamiya 1/350 plastic Fletcher class destroyer kit.
Used Tom's
Modelworks Fletcher class destroyer kit with the square
bridge to convert kit to the USS A. W. Grant. Conversion was
simple and easy. As in the the often used Quote, "Just follow the
Instructions - Dummy!" I found that with Tom's Conversion it is possible
to do two conversions. One as a normal square bridged Fletcher DD
and a round bridged Fletcher class DD with the AAW'45 enhanced Anti Kamikaze
measures ship. Two for one - not bad!
