Very cool... A round bridge wartime Fletcher. I wonder who will produce the first after market square bridge conversion set?

I wonder if we will see more large scale ships aimed at both types of modellers (RC & build kits); makes some sense from a marketing pespective.

Seems to be a good looking kit.

All they need is some AM PE and some figures and she will really pop.

All I need is a 20x40 addition on my house and I can get one.

Awesome, sign me up! Although, I kinda wish it was in the smaller 1/200 to be in scale with all of Nichimo's 1/200 stuff... Oh well.

Karl, you need to set up a sig instead of having all of that info in the body of your text...

So, does this mean Revell Germany is releasing 1:144 kits of a both a round bridge Fletcher and a postwar transfer from the USN?

Nah, four ships is a tiny amount to have in the pipeline. I have seven various stage builds in my pipeline (not counting models other than ships and the two ships on hold) and I'm still on the low end of the spectrum...
