Fletcher class destroyer by tozbekler - Finished


Recommended Posts

Hi Tozbleker

 

Beautiful work! There's no doubting the beauty of these types of Destroyers, especially with their sweeping sheer lines.

 

The details that you're adding is amazing. Somehow, you make it look so easy!

 

Lovely.

 

Cheers

Some photos of the Fletcher I was a gunners mate aboard, we were in a collision on 19 june 1960, killed more than the Kamikaze that hit between the stacks while she was on picket duty in Leyte Gulf, both on the net if interested. The 3" 50 is not aboard the Ammen, but it is a good photo of the 3" gun, the 5" guns are in the configuration you want for the updated Fletcher you have, photo was just after collision, just before dry docking, counter flooding had leveled her out.

Doing some nice work, other than the lack of K guns, different torpedo tubes and the hedge hog launcher and guns needing some fine tuning, she looks good, only someone who served aboard such ships would be as fussy as I.
