New Model:D-520 Blue Devil (Fletcher Class)

In 1941, the US Navy began building a fleet of large destroyers, its first design to rival the Japanese “special type” destroyers that had first entered service more than a decade before. These 175 flush-deck “2,100-tonners” became, “in retrospect . . . the most successful of all American destroyers: fast, roomy, capable of absorbing enormous punishment, and yet fighting on.” Thanks to postwar service in the US plus fourteen foreign navies, they remained a familiar sight around the world into the 1990s.

The Model you see here is entirely scratch built using only Wood, Museum Board and a pulp based compound. EVERYTHING is made by scratch/hand.
