Re: Fletcher 1:200
Was this kit a scratch build? I know of no kits in resin or main stream plastic manufacturers in 1/200. Very nice build and paint.

Thanks
Yes, it is cardboard, so no painting is involved.

Re: Fletcher 1:200
Really a good job. Tried a paper model once. Ended in disaster. 
Any ship larger than a Destroyer is a waste of metal.

Now that is one sharp Fletcher. Love the photoshopped pic of her cutting a bow wave.

Re: Fletcher 1:200
Why have you photographed the real ship in every shot then masked it as a model ? That Fletcher without doubt is the best I have ever seen and believe me, I've seen some Fletcher models. As always, I don't want to upset anyone, but come on, you've got to post more photographs of this model, and I dare say everyone would also want to know your stats, information of build time, material used, parts, up-grades. This model, yes I am going on quite a bit, then again, this is a fantastic looking ship. Well done !

Re: Fletcher 1:200
Absolutely amazing! This really is one of the best large-scale Fletchers I've seen (which is saying something given the popularity of this subject) I'd certainly never have guessed it was a card model; you've managed to completely avoid the slightly flat, two-dimensional look structures assembled from card often have. The vertical lines on the lower hull are about the only giveaway.
I'll be happy if my (plastic) 1/144 Fletcher looks half as good as this

Re: Fletcher 1:200
Roman,
Knowing that you are the mastermind behind DigitalNavy, and that you produce the best engineered card models does not detract anything from this one. It is absolutely fantastic !
I am currently on other projects, and building skills in card models, but I cannot wait to get started on you Oregon and Oslabya kits which I got from your site !
Keep on the excellent work !
