Hi Guys. I decided to do another OOB before my next Large Build. I used Tamiya's new Washes on Fletch and they work very well. This is the Fletcher at about 75% complete. Will have some more Pics up soon.....Cheers Mark

OK the Fletch is now done and dusted. Lots of Washes and Drybrushing brought her details out very well. I used Tamiya's new line of Washes. They come in Black, Brown and Grey. Very happy with the results. Any C and C's are most welcome.....Cheers Mark

Great job on Fletcher, OOB. My only observation is that, as I understand it, the ship's boats would be in cammo colors, inside and out. But I'm not 100% on this.

Hi Mark, nice build. Bob is right on the life boats though, should be in the camo scheme.
Cheers,
Julian

Nice build Mark,

The washes certainly bring out the detail. Might give then a try myself.
