Maybe we should all start saving the lollypop sticks and sent them to you for next Christmas.

Danke, danke Pal. I have enough of them to finish two such ships, including Horatio Nelson's flagship - HMS Victory. To be honest I made a cardboard model of the 104-gun first-rate ship of the line years ago.

Would one be able to use Revell's 1/144 USS Fletcher DD-445, to do either USS Converse DD-509 or USS Charles Ausburne DD-570, at some point in there careers?

Thanks Wojtek. Keep us posted how it goes.

Jan, see post 24.

I would build the NS Savannah. Love this odd-ball.

Lucky13 · Jan 17, 2014

This one?

The only reason I did the Doras build that way was because I have no way to create a subforum but if everyone prefers to run their own separate threads, I won't lose sleep over that. It would be tidy if a mod could start a subforum under the GB heading for everyone to post their separate threads in that case.

"Qualifies" is a non-issue for this build Glenn as there are no rules!

What I meant was, can the Revell kit be used to build either the USS Converse DD-509 or USS Charles Ausburne DD-570? Think that they all have the same rounded bridge, but the rest....

Yes.

Wurger · Jan 17, 2014

All of them were of the Fletcher-class destroyers. So no problem with the conversion.

USS Fletcher DD-445...

USS Converse DD-509...

USS Charles Ausburne DD-570...

You may join the board... The Ship Model Forum ? View topic - Calling all USS Fletcher class (DD) fans

Lucky13 · Jan 17, 2014

Thanks gentlemen!
Might join with either the Converse or Charles Ausburne then, using the Revell 1/144 Fletcher, as a 1/72 Type IXC or Type VII are a bit on the large side, same as the Gato!

parsifal · Jan 17, 2014

im excited, hope horse is okay with the proposal

Crimea_River · Jan 17, 2014

Sorry Jan, I misunderstood. That destroyer would be a nice addition.

Lucky13 · Jan 17, 2014

That's perfectly alright mate, you were just having a blonde moment.....again!

Lucky13 · Jan 18, 2014

About USS Fletcher, baptized in the fires of the vicious night battles around Guadalcanal in November 1942, she earned her first nickname, Lucky 13...

Hmmmmm.....

Lucky13 · Jan 20, 2014

I need help, no seriously, this is getting out of hand to say the least....so tempted to buy "The Grand Old Lady"....in other words, this classy lassie!

Well, you can't get the USS Yorktown CV-5 or USS West Virginia BB-48 in 1/350, without selling your liver, a kidney and your left nut!

Wurger · Jan 20, 2014

What for do you want to sell your kidneys and the liver? Look around... drawings , a pencil and a ruler , also some of paperboard and....

Wurger · Jan 20, 2014

Yes it is , my friend.

Lucky13 · Jan 20, 2014

Holy...

Those must be......massive! I'll swap the USS Enterprise CV-6 for USS Yorktown CV-5!

Wurger · Jan 20, 2014

The finished model here and above is of 1/200 scale. But as you may have noticed it is offered in 1/300 too.
