USS SAMUEL B. ROBERTS

USS SAMUEL B. ROBERTS

1/192 SCALE  19” Long

On October 25, 1944 the famed Taffy III battle group engaged a superior Japanese force, in the Southern approaches to Leyte Gulf, Philippines. Even though overwhelmingly outgunned and suffering numerous casualties including the ROBERTS, HOEL, JOHNSTON, and GAMBIER BAY, Taffy III forced the Japanese vessels to retire in one of the most heroic, modern sea battles.  BlueJacket’s model is one of the most exquisitely detailed and accurate models ever offered. The kit contains a basswood hull, cast pewter fittings, laser cut wood parts, and a great deal of etched brass. The kit is in 1/16" scale, to complement our models of the U.S.S. KIDD (DD661) and the U.S.S. GAMBIER BAY(CVE 73).
