    Chuck, I would also buy the stand as a sub-kit. I think it looks great! Tim Murphy

    If you could build these two beauties than this build should be a joy for you! (No Rigging) Tim

    I'am not surprised with the quality of the Kit. I have never seen a bad product from Chuck. Hopefully I will see my Kit on Tuesday! ( no mail on Monday, Fed Holiday.)

    Your right about the first Fletcher's were round bridges. The sq. bridges based on the Bath Iron work plans were different than the one's based on the San Pedro plans. The hatches/doors were different, also some portholes Tim

    I'm an Ex Destroyer Sailor. I was on a Fram 1 out of San Diego in the early 70's. I LOVE destroyers. Good luck with your kit! Check were the Sullivans was built. There is a different bridge for West Coast and East Coast bridges. There is a 3-D printed part that could help you. I am now retired and I volunteer at the Charlestown Navy Yard. We have the Cassin Young DD793 an I sometimes work on her. An questions I may be able to help. Tim

    The colour of the flag was based on what Fleet the ship belonged to. The Admiral of the Fleet chose the colour. It could be Red, Blue, or White. The Red Cross is the English Flag, or the Flag of St. Andrew. The White Cross with Blue back round is the Flag of Scotland. This is the Union Flag of 1705. The Flag of the Royal Navy, as we know it was used from 1865 on. The White Flag with the Union Flag in the upper corner and the cross of St. Andrew

    I came across this topic on Chuck's Medway Boat build. I am not a computer adept person. Being 68 years old it is very hard to understand this stuff! Your topic here has given me a chance to understand how this is done. Thank you! Tim Murphy

    I'm an X Destroyer sailor. I was on a Fram 1 Gearing in the early 70's. I love destroyers and I think that Arli Burkes' are the best looking ships in the Fleet. Good luck to your Build. Tim

    I was just lucky to get the Kit. I will follow your build with great enthusiasm. I hope between your build and Chuck's directions I might build a good model. Thank You. Tim

    I remember these Boats from my DD during my our time in the Delta area. We would have the boats come along side when we were doing Gun-Fire support. Would be nice to see a good model of this boat. Tim

    This Build should be a great one to follow. I have seen a model of this Boat at a show of the New England, New York & New Jersey modeling groups. Ancre Publishing House in Nice, France publishers some of the greatest Plan portfolio's for this hobby. Good luck with your build!

    Tim, I was an OS2 with a EW job code on USS Southerland DD743, Desron 5 out of 32nd St. I was on the ship for four years! Your Model is great! You bring back many good memories of my Ship. Your Model is the best Fram 1 that I have seen. More power to you! Thanks for a great blog of your ship build. Tim Murphy

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
