I'm going to start with this question; Are you building for the fun or are you going to try and be as accurate as is possible?
What I recommend will be different depending on the answer. The Tamiya FLETCHER 1/350 scale kit (as well Trumpeter's THE SULLIVANS kit) has several errors, missing equipment or flat out wrong equipment (example, they included a "rectangular" SC-2 radar antenna when it should be a "square" SC-1 antenna). Placement of the aft twin 40-mm "tub" location is the least of your problems.
Hi Rick
This one is just getting the feel of the building again and what goes where , build up my skills againand to look decent in the end it was partially started already when I bought it. The next ones (Conway[Tam]~~Claxton[Trump,]~~Watts[Trump]) would like to do close to accurate and have ordered some of the resin extras and PE sets. I have the layouts for the periods per chats with you from waaay back I archived.As well as about 20 similar pages down in ship fans thread, and as many refs I could find from navsource,destroyerhistory.org,shipcamoflage.com, google, etc. Only real things I don't have for them are the tiny stuff like you mentioned like radars and Directors and such
