Eugene,

I've got an extra Shanghai Dragon 1/700 USS Cochrane DDG-21 kit that has the German and Greek variants included.

Hi Guys,
Dear Euge Groove,
This is your thread as much as anyone's.
Cap'n Carl has seen and can now do what he does best; he helps his fellow modeler.
BTW, I don't remember if I brought my 700CFA box to Phillip's, but I have quite a bit of stuff; including a DDG-6 from the DDG-21 kit. This was done by none other than Devin. I hope to have her drydocked in a semi-diorama scene. That would be a bit off the beaten path..........hey EJ?
Anyway, I have a few decal sheets somewhere. I also have many extra parts. I guess I did not have the funnel tops that you needed. Good thing you posted here.
Take care guys, Tony

Hi Guys,
Mardis,
Those DDG's look quite petite when compared to a Super-Carrier!
On the other hand, the Charles F Adams class DDG's were significantly larger than the DD's that came beforehand.
See image to get a clear idea!

Hi Guys,
Garry71,
There were 3 unrep stations, 2 refueling stations, and 1 vertrep station. Which area of the ship, which ship and which era of that ship exactly?

Hi Garry71,
DDG-24 USS Waddell. She's a beautiful ship.
First off. I'm a DDG fan, but I was never a sailor. I have no experience in life aboard a warship; although sometimes I wish that I would have made some different life decisions. I can't change that now.
Onto your project. You nailed the two refueling stations.
There is a predominant midships, "Kingpost", used for handling and moving equipment, stores and ammunition.
This is not for refueling as best I've discerned. The forward refueling station is on the 01 level at the forefoot of the bridge. There is equipment for refueling stored in this area behind a small solid faced storage structure and there is a shelf at the bas eof the bridge at about the 02 level.
The aft refueling station had two types of kingposts over the years. The, "H", framed kingpost was on all the ships of this class through the 70-80's. In some cases, Longer than others. Worn out? The later kingpost type has a sliding coupler of some kind and is common to other types of ships as well.
The unrep station was the fantail, and is marked accordingly. The types of unrep station markings varied form ship to ship and tiem frame.
I have mega pics of these ships.
Glad to share. I'll post some in a little while.
The aerial is a hat for Santa. I can't positively I/D that for you in an instant; sorry. In that pic, I can't see where it's attached.
Tony

Thank's Tony!
Second photo - DDG-12 Robison.
OE-82 was added in second half of 70' years - it's right?

Hi Guys,
Garry71,
Those drawings look really familiar. Are those from SSY?
I have some DDG-24 drawings in 1/96, and they are BuShips drawings; that came with my 1/96 DDG hull.
I can't read the drawings you've shown, so I'll have to pull down mine to study.
Give me a couple of days and I'll do my best to help you further.
The second drawing shows the storage, "shelf", I mentioned previously.
Why do you need this info anyway?
Modeler or artist?
Tony

Hi Guys,
Garry71,
Yes, the observer's dome is clear. Here, look at this picture of one of my friends on USS Berkeley in 1972.
