"Tamiya DD445 - Excellent first 1/350 build"

hami3418

I have been a 1/700 fan for a while but picked this kit up to give 1/350 a try. I thoroughly enjoyed working in this scale and the end result is really nice. I added the PE set from Toms Model Works and it made the difference. Be careful with the railings ... the PE set gives no extra for errors. Also recommend doing some research on the USN paint measures. I question the accuracy of some of Tamiya's color recommendations for this build ... especially the deck blue. I'll be building more in this scale. Then quality of this kit is typical of what you expectfrom Tamiya.

"Excellent Kit"

snod

This build was a challenge, but I enjoyed it. I wanted to add more to this build. So, I added PE parts from (Tom's Modelworks set#3508) which I got from Hobbylinc. The radar, ladder and rails made the ship look more realistic. This was the first time I ever used PE on a ship. So, I would have to say that was the real challenge. Pro's: Everything fit good. Instructions were clear but need updated. No putty was needed. Single piece hull. Painting directions were clear. Decals ok. Con's: None. I would like to see Tamiya come out with a Gearing class in 1/350 also.

"ww2 Fletcher class"

mwright8991

Said it before in reviews, but Tamiya always seems to make a great product for a very fair price. There is a lot of detail in this set given the very low price. I just had to have this model being a fan of the Battle of Leyte Gulf were these tin cans made such a showing. It is not very large which I consider a plus since it makes it both easier to find a place to keep it and it makes painting a little easier. Would recommend this and other models by Tamiya.

marlimann

I have always been a fan of Fletcher type destroyers. So I built this one and loved the outcome. Of course Tamiya puts out a wonderful product, but the details, fit and finish of the model were outstanding, as well as being challenging enough to make it fun. This is an awesome model for the price.
