Cb1000h,

Gold Medal Models from US has a set of PE for both the Burke, the Ticonderoga, Spruance, Belknap, Forrest Sherman or any other Post WW2 or modern US navy ship. White Ensign models from UK has a set especially designed for the Burke.(The WEM set practically almost has everything to detail Burke)

Almost all ship modelers who plan to place the brass pedestals usually make their bases longer than the actual length of the model.
And if you could post pics of your model then do it!

Nick

Thank you I will order the PE set and I figured the base should be a bit longer

Are there any specific Model Master colors to yous on the Arleigh???
Also are there any resin upgrades for that kit too ie ciws or gun turrrets etc??
Thanks again
