| Hit on the heels of Dragons 1/350 and 1/700 Benson/Gleaves
destroyers, Ray Bean has come out with this photo DVD on the subject. This
is a class of ships that had a huge variety of configurations. His new
DVD includes prewar, early, mid and late war fits of both Benson and Gleaves
classes. |
|
The images on the CD are print quality and range in size from 48 kilobytes
to 5 plus megs and sizes typically around 3600 pixels wide. To view the
images just pop in the CD and display them using your computers file browser
just like images on your hard drive. There are overall views, and plenty
of close ups that show the weapons and fittings on these ships. |
| CONCLUSIONS |
|
This particular volume has 165 images, with some in full color. While
many of these images are available in other books or on the web, it is
particularly handy to have them all together on this DVD. This is Volume
63 Benson Gleaves Class USN DD for just $22. Currently Ray D. Bean
has many volumes
of photo DVD's available. There are other titles on the other destroyer
classes and many other US Navy subjects. It is available direct from Still
Motion Photographics. A must have for the Benson-Gleaves class model
builder. |
