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.

Handmade, Not Mass-Produced Bancroft models are created by skilled factory artisans that dedicate hundreds of hours to the assembly and detailing of these breathtaking replicas.

Striking Scale Realism The Bancroft 1/100 Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer delivers an exceptional blend of detailed scale realism and everyday functionality. Designed to be virtually maintenance-free, this RC warship looks just as impressive on display with its included stand as it does sailing on your local lake, pond, or marina.

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!

Twin-Screw Propulsion The Arleigh Burke is powered by twin 550-class brushed motors with steel driveshafts, dual rudders, and steel driveshafts for reliability and realistic performance. A MH-60R Seahawk on the aft deck serves ready to hunt for enemy submarines.
