Scale: 1/125

Recommended to help build a "round bridge" Fletcher-class destroyer from the Lindberg 1/125 scale “Blue Devil Destroyer”, USS Melvin DD-680.
 
The 2,050-ton Fletcher class was one of the most successful wartime and post-war destroyer classes of the US Navy and arguably the most significant class in the Pacific war.  175 ships of the class were produced over a 32-month period during World War II.  They were produced in two groups:  58 were built with a high, "Round Bridge" and 117 (two-thirds of the class) were completed with a low, "Square Bridge" which afforded better visibility for anti-aircraft defense.  Several Fletchers served in foreign navies, the last, Mexico's Cuitláhuac, the former USS John Rodgers retired in 2001.

accurately scaled from Bath Iron Works builder's plans
open, exterior 5'-6" "A/T" door locations per Bath drawings and photos of actual Fletchers
open venturi (wind deflector)

This 3D-printed model is designed to match the overall dimensions of features of the real ship as recorded in official Bath Iron Works builder's blueprints.  This model is not a copy of any injection molded plastic or resin kits' parts and therefore may be differently shaped and sized.  Some adjustment to your kit, or other aftermarket products such as photoetch, may be necessary for best fit.
