U.S.S. Crockett 1295mm Wood Kit

Dumas U.S.S. Crockett 1295 mm wooden kit

The U.S.S. Crockett was one of seventeen Asheville-class gunboats – the first ships in the US Navy with gas turbine propulsion. The Crockett could reach 50 knots, but even more impressively, it could accelerate its 230 tons from 0 to 40 knots in 60 seconds. The ship was stationed in South Vietnam for coastal patrol, blockade reconnaissance and support missions.

Dumas' Crockett is a builder's boat: the hull has balsa planking on die-cut mahogany frames, and the superstructure is built the traditional way with die-cut parts. The 2105 deck fittings set with over 80 cast fittings and all the armament, and the 2341 drive set for twin propellers, are available separately.
