USS Kidd & ROC Kee Lung Class DDG Clear 1-2400

USNM-2408: Kidd & ROC Kee Lung Class Clear
This 1-2400 scale clear waterslide deck decal represents the U.S. Navy Kidd-class guided-missile destroyers and their later Republic of China Navy service as the Kee Lung class.
 
Decal Information
The decal reproduces the visible deck and helicopter-deck markings for the Kidd and Kee Lung classes and is printed on a clear background so the modeler's painted deck color remains visible. The deck markings and hull numbers should be cut and positioned carefully to match the miniature.
 
Model Compatibility
This 1-2400 scale deck decal is sized for the GHQ Kidd/Kee Lung-class miniature. Miniatures from other manufacturers may differ in deck dimensions, weapons placement, or superstructure footprint, so test-fit before application.
 
Historical Information
The four Kidd-class destroyers were built in the United States as heavily armed air-defense ships derived from the Spruance-class hull. After U.S. Navy service, all four were transferred to Taiwan and recommissioned as the Kee Lung class, providing long-range air-defense and surface-warfare capability.
