I've started work on the Bluejacket 310 destroyer. I am building her as USS Pillsbury DD-227. She was lost in the aftermath of Java during WWII with all hands. Taken by surprise, this aging destroyer nonetheless reacted valiantly, returning fire and launching torpedoes before being sunk by overwhelming IJN firepower.

 

Bluejacket makes a great model. It does need some modification to resemble a late 1930s Asiatic fleet DD. I am representing DD227 between 1937 and Oct 1941 as that represents her most complete configuration prior to her collision with USS Peary. Many thanks to "rcweir" for his assistance and to my fiancee, Sarah, for tolerating my latest obsession.

 

I am all ears for any critiques or suggestion for improvement. I am very much an amateur modeler.
