USS Arleigh Burke 1/100 Scale 1553mm (61.1") USA Navy Destroyer - RTR from Bancroft - BNC1066-003
The Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are a cornerstone of the United States Navy’s surface fleet. First commissioned in 1991, these guided missile destroyers are named after Admiral Arleigh Burke, a decorated World War II destroyer officer. Designed with a focus on versatility, survivability, and advanced combat capabilities, they have become the most widely produced class of modern destroyers in the world.
Equipped with the Aegis Combat System, Arleigh Burke-class ships can engage air, surface, and subsurface threats simultaneously. Their armament includes Tomahawk cruise missiles, Standard surface-to-air missiles, anti-submarine torpedoes, and naval guns. A vertical launch system (VLS) allows rapid firing of various missile types, enhancing their combat flexibility.
These ships are built with stealth features, including angled superstructures and radar-absorbent materials, making them harder to detect. Arleigh Burke-class destroyers support missions ranging from missile defense and anti-submarine warfare to escort and power projection. Their reliability, firepower, and multi-mission capability have made them essential assets in U.S. naval operations worldwide.
Bancroft is pleased to introduce this impressively sized model that is equally suited for display or operation. Handmade by skilled factory craftsmen, the model arrives fully assembled, detailed, and ready to sail. Powered by twin 550-class motors and controlled by a digital proportional 2.4GHz radio system, this 1/100 scale replica requires only the addition of four AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter. In addition, a complete sheet of hull numbers are provided for owners to recreate the hull number for any of the 73 active Arleigh Burke-class ships currently in service.

Photo-Etched Detail Parts Some of the Photo-Etched (PE) parts are thinner than a pin, and some of the details are only visible under a magnifying glass! The durable PE railings can be gently bent back to shape like a paper clip if minor bends are caused during normal transport or handling. |

Powerful First Impression The model features a scale-accurate bulbous bow, draft markings, and MK 45 AA gun. Anchors, deck chains, and other numerous details combine to create a miniature masterpiece! |

Bancroft model boats are molded and hand finished using very intricate details and parts including metal, wood, plastic, and fiberglass. Because of their hand made nature, minor imperfections in the fiberglass, metalwork, or painting may exist, as well as variations from the photos. These potential imperfections will not affect the seaworthiness of the vessel or the overall scale boating experience. Bancroft scale RC boats are fragile so care should be taken when moving or transporting your model.
Some of the electronics in this Bancroft boat, including the Battery, ESC, Motor, and Receiver, are NOT intended to get wet; they are NOT water resistant. If any of these electronic components get wet and you attempt to operate your model, the water can cause an electrical short-circuit and void your warranty. In the rare instance that you get water inside your vessel, you should drain the water completely and allow all electronics to fully dry before attempting to operate your model.
