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.
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.
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.
