DaLiGeJian Model 1/350 USS Smith DD-17.

The Smith-class destroyer is a class of destroyers in the United States Navy. In 1903, the U.S. Navy developed a long-term plan to deploy one destroyer for every battleship in the fleet for defense.

This plan led to the construction of destroyers with excellent seaworthiness, and the Smith-class was built under this initiative. Five ships of this class were constructed and were in service during World War I, but were decommissioned after only 11 years of service. The USS Smith was the lead ship of the Smith-class, and its name was given in honor of Captain Joseph B. Smith, who died in the Battle of Hampton Roads during the American Civil War as a crew member aboard the Monitor.

The ship was laid down in 1908, launched in 1909, and commissioned in November of the same year.



The kit includes an injection-molded hull, 3D-printed parts, photo-etched components, brass turned parts, paint masking, and decals.
Includes a photo-etched assembly display stand.

This seems an off-shoot by Veryfire - also they have plans for a plastic injection 1/200 of the WW2 British Tribal Class Destroyer

among others including 1/350 HMS Vanguard according to a kit review oin youtube

Very fire now seems to be called Beaver Corp from Japan? Thought very fire were Chinese?

They mentioned Vanguard along with KGV, Renown a while ago??

Beaver Corp seems to be a resale brand for the Japanese market. Very Fire is just one overseas company that uses it - there are others that also sell under the Beaver Corp name in Japan.
