When you say it has "wings", do you mean solid side pieces (squarish
"sponsons)"  or struts ending in small pods? If the latter, then this
isn't
the DD; it is the Patrol Cutter type 2. If it's the former (and there is
a
noticeable cutout in the bottom of the hull, with a drilled hole in the
centre of the cutout) then it sounds like it's the DD forward hull minus
the engine pod and weapons unit.

There SHOULD be a pic of the DD on the online cat site - there is a pic
of
the smaller UN ships, including the 1104, 1105,1106, 1108 and 1110; the
1105 DD is the ship at centre bottom of the pic. If you can find this,
see
if the front half of that looks like what you have.....
