Hi Nebbor! That is what I ended up doing. Took some time and patience. I had also ordered a vacuformed canopy but that seemed even harder to do. Thanks! Scott

Hi all! Just got this kit yesterday and I scratched the canopy washing the parts. I know it's a long shot. Also, if not located, how do you buy parts from Tamiya? Thanks! Scott

Nice build!!

Ha ha!!

I appreciate the feedback. I always like hearing from anyone with the experience. Here is a pic of my USS Chevalier in 1/144 (Revell). Still a work in process. Need to add some PE railings and the rigging. (Ugh!)

I thought I saw some weapons sets from Bandai on Ebay for the Defiance.

Thank you for the good advice! I appreciate it.The Schnellboot looks to be kind of what I'm looking for. I also looked at the Academy 1/350 scale USS Oliver Hazard Perry: https://academyhobby.com/product/detail.html?product_no=230&cate_no=24&display_group=1 About half the size of the 1/144. Scott

Hi all! I am normally an aircraft modeler, but recently I started building Revell's 1/144 Fletcher Class Destroyer. It is a daunting project for me but I am making headway. What I like about the build is the size. My fat fingers need all the help I can get. My question is, I want to try and build another ship but want to go with either 1/350 or 1/700. I would like to try one of the newer or modern US Navy destroyers, such as the USS Cole, or another Arleigh Burke Class ship. Does anyone have any suggestions on what kit? 1/350 seems a bit more relevant for the size I'm look

I am looking for the photo-etch railings for the Revell 1/144 Fletcher class destroyer. This is the Eduard part number 53041. I can go to Eduard directly but trying to avoid that. Thanks! Scott

If anyone has a spare canopy from the Hobby Boss kit 80342 1/48 A-7A Corsair II please let me know. I looked on the Hobby Boss site and the website shows a spare part service but I get an error when I try to launch it. Your help is appreciated! Thanks! Scott
