Tamiya 78012 1/350 Fletcher DD-445 Naval Scale Model  [78012]

Scale Model of USS Fletcher DD-445 for Collectors

The USS Fletcher (DD-445) served as the prototype for a prolific group of US destroyers in World War II. This Tamiya 78012 1/350 kit captures the ship profile and historical fittings so modellers can recreate an important naval design in miniature.

Period Accuracy and Component Detail

Fletcher-class ships were noted for a mix of armament and agility, featuring 5-inch dual-purpose guns, five-tube torpedo mounts and 20mm anti-aircraft guns. The kit mirrors these items, with fine moulded parts and functional elements that reflect the original engineering.

Assembly Appeal and Shelf Impact

Tamiya parts fit cleanly, which helps reduce sanding and filler work; the finished model is 327mm long and 35mm across the beam, giving it a solid presence for display. The supplied base and name plaque make it ready to exhibit.
