The Fletcher-class destroyer was the backbone of the US Navy's surface fleet in World War II — fast, heavily armed, and produced in greater numbers than any other destroyer class in American history. The USS Fletcher (DD-445) was the lead ship of the class, and Tamiya's 1/350 kit is one of the most respected renditions of this iconic warship in scale modeling. Fine hull detail, accurate deck fittings, and a complete weapons fit make this a benchmark WWII destroyer build.
