Dragon 1034 Destroyer U.S.S. Benson DD-421 1940 (1:350) is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing the American destroyer USS Benson (DD-421) from 1940, in 1:350 scale. This product is made by the renowned manufacturer Dragon, known for its precision craftsmanship and high-quality kits intended for advanced hobbyists and collectors.

USS Benson is a Benson-class ship that began service in the United States Navy just before the US entry into World War II—in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The DD-421 destroyer was launched in November 1939 and officially commissioned for active service in July 1940. It served actively during World War II, participating in convoy escort operations in the Atlantic, actions in the Mediterranean Sea, and supporting Allied landings during the invasions of North Africa and Sicily.

The Dragon 1034 model is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring ease of processing and durability of the finished model. The kit does not include glue or paints, allowing the modeler to select appropriate colors and details according to the historical camouflage of the USS Benson from 1940. Inside the box, you'll find meticulously recreated deck components, superstructures, weapon systems, and details such as life rafts, masts, and radars. The wealth of details enables both straightforward assembly out of the box and further enhancement with aftermarket elements, such as photo-etched railings or metal gun barrels (optional, not included in the kit).
