The first class ship, USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000), launched in October 2013 and finally entered service on October 15, 2016, while the second, USS Michael Monsoor (DDG-1001), was launched on October 26, 2016 January 2019 was put into service. The third and final ship in this class, USS Lyndon B. Johnson (DDG-1002), will also enter service in 2020. The type is characterised by a wave-breaking hull and a slim shape to reduce its radar cross-section.
This kit allows the modeller to build either the USS Lyndon B. Johnson / USS Michael Monsoor or the Zumwalt DDG-1000. They are manufactured to an exact 1/700 scale and the kit has new tools, as it should be for such a radically new design. As usual, both a waterline and a full hull are available. The Dragon kit reflects the latest configuration of these destroyers. Sliding moulds are used extensively and the separation of the parts is very smart so that the plastic kit masterfully recreates the unusual shape of this stealth destroyer. This item includes completely new parts like the top of the main body, upgraded radars, and two Mk 46 Mod 2 30mm cannons. These filigree elements are even produced using the 3D printing process, which shows how state-of-the-art this plastic kit actually is. Dragon is pleased to deliver a futuristic piece of marine technology with this modern kit!
