This is a great product... I doubt many will build multiple versions of this kit, so having a decal sheet to have your build look "different" is a huge bonus.... LuckyModel has the Fletcher on sale, 53 USD (100-120 usually).... tempting, except the weight/size adds 20-30$ USD to the price... if you are on the other side of the pond you may get a great deal on this one!

Someone please tell me if I'm being an idiot, but aren't the Johnston and Hoel late war "square" bridged Fletchers, and the Revell kit is a round bridge? Does someone make a conversion I'm not aware of? Or am I just an idiot?
