USS Fletcher DD-445 Scale Replica for Modellers

The USS Fletcher (DD-445) exemplifies mid century destroyer design and wartime service. As the lead ship of a large class of 175 vessels, Fletcher took part in many significant operations. This 1/350 Tamiya 78012 model reproduces the ship lines and key features for hobbyists who enjoy historical builds.

Wartime Role and Authentic Detail

The Fletcher class combined speed, armament and seakeeping, typically carrying 5-inch dual-purpose guns, quintuple torpedo launchers and twin 20mm AA mounts. This kit recreates those elements and includes movable fittings to allow realistic display positions of guns and launchers.

Build Quality and Display Presence

Tamiya moulding quality ensures clean parts and a satisfying assembly process; the completed model measures 327mm long with a 35mm beam, making it a substantial showpiece. A supplied display stand and nameplate help present the finished ship on a shelf or in a cabinet.

The kit has fine detail and some small parts, so it is best for modellers with intermediate experience rather than absolute beginners.
Yes, the kit includes movable turrets and torpedo launchers, allowing you to pose the weapons for diorama or display layouts.
Mount the completed hull on the included stand, use subtle weathering to bring out panel lines, and consider a low profile glass case to keep dust off the fine details.
