Academy 14102 - 1/350 Scale USS Oliver Hazard Perry Frigate Model

The USS Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) earned a reputation for versatility and reliability in fleet operations. The Academy 14102 1/350 kit recreates the frigate's silhouette and lets builders capture its compact, mission-focused layout in scale form.

Operational History and Modelling Appeal

Entered into service in 1977, the class combined practical engineering with multi-role capability, from escort work to anti-submarine patrols. The Academy 14102 kit attracts hobbyists who value accurate proportions, finely moulded parts, and realistic decals for an authentic finish.

Assembly Challenge and Display Potential

At 1/350 scale the tiny components demand careful assembly and steady hands, making the build satisfying for those who enjoy fine detail work. Finished models work well as centrepieces that show the technological design of the era.
