1:350 U.S. Navy DD445 Fletcher, ship model kit

The 1:350 U.S. Navy DD445 Fletcher model kit brings the lead ship of the Fletcher-class destroyers into a detailed build with a finished length of 328 mm and width of 35 mm. The long hull, stepped superstructure and wartime camouflage layout give the destroyer a clear naval profile on the included display stand with name plate. This assembly kit reproduces USS Fletcher DD-445, a ship from a class of 175 destroyers built during WWII, and focuses on the balanced form that defined the class. The deck is populated with 5-inch DP gun turrets, quintuple torpedo launchers, twin 20 mm anti-aircraft guns and depth charge launchers, creating a layered silhouette from bow to stern. Movable gun barrels, turrets and torpedo launchers allow the finished model to be posed with different deck arrangements instead of remaining fixed in one orientation. Assembly is required, and the stated build time is 600 minutes. Cement and paints are required separately. Once completed, the destroyer suits shelf display, cabinet presentation or a line-up with other naval subjects in 1:350 scale. The stand lifts the hull into a clean side profile, while the name plate gives the finished build a museum-style presentation.
