USS O'Bannon By Rich Hephner

Scratch built USS O'Bannon. Fletcher class destroyer famous for cruising the "slot" and several actions in the Pacific. Paint scheme is from July 1943 (except for the blackened funnels which were a mistake that I kept because I like the look.) Some third party photo etch parts and 3 printed doodads, but mostly basswood, evergreen polystyrene, and soldered brass.

Thanks! I used plans from the USS Abbott (https://abbot.us/plans/) and a set I got online, but I’ve had them for so long I can’t remember where I got them.

Wow, very nicely done!  I build kits with PE and other aftermarket parts, but couldn't imagine scratch building these kinds of ships.  Well done!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
