USS FLETCHER

(FOR REVELL-GERMANY KIT#5091)

 

Revell has hit a home run with this kit! For nearly fifty years, the only large scale kit of the Fletcher class was the Lindberg Blue Devil kit. This kit is as advanced over the Lindbergh kits as the Fletcher was over the four-pipers of World War One.

 

Larry Hamilton recently posted an excellent set of photos on modelwarship.com and on modelshipwrights.com; these reviews are essentially the same and can be found here:

The set is on sale now

 

Discontinued - the etcher has instituted yet another price hike for etch and the new price of $150 I would have to charge is simply too high. I am looking into getting it etched elsewhere.

$150 plus S&H

This is a continuous film decal printed on a Xerox color solid ink printer (similar to ALPS printers). The sheet contains all the walkway patterns one will need for the kit out-of-the-box plus extras that can be used with our resin detail sets.

350-601 USS Fletcher Anti-Skid Decal $5 plus S&H

Nearly the same decal as 144-601, except printed in 1/350 scale an usable on many different Allied ships as repaired or refitted in US Navy yards during WWII. This scale allows more patterns to be inserted in the allotted space.
