Drawing, Instructions for Blue Water Navy kit, USS Arron Ward, Benson Class Destroyer

[Nat Fay]

Greeting all;

 

I'm looking for instructions and drawing for the Blue Water Navy kit (resin) of the USS Arron Ward, a Benson Class Destroyer.  I have the kit from 1999 when my father, Dudley Fay of Across the Pond Ship Models sent it to me, but the instruction included are lacking.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nat, first I like to Welcome you to MSW!

 

I like destroyers myself and am currently building a 1/700 scale paper model and preparing a 3d print 1/72 scale of a Swedish destroyer; HMS Halland,  a destroyer my father was stationed on.

 

I would suggest you to join this look at this forum as well. This is directly to the kit of yours and maybe they can help you out with the information.

Since she belongs to the Benson class destroyer there is a build log Farenholt herself.

Here is that link.

 

Good luck and let us know of your progress.

I think the current manufactures of the old Blue Water Navy kits is The Iron Shipwright.

Even though they no longer offer the Arron Ward or even a Benson/Gleaves-class destroyer, it is possible they still have copies of the instructions.

Give them a call and ask. the worst they could say is no.
