Full build of Trumpeter USS The Sullivans DD-537 1:350 (05304). This is my first ship build. The video is created from a beginners point of view (like me) and provide in depth hints and tips which I think will be proved useful to people who want to build this kit.

I just finished glueing my model of this kit together. She is now ready for airbrushing. The kit has a few mistakes. The ammo boxes do not go where the instructions show them. They only have 3 life rafts there should be 4. The whale boats are missing their keels and rudders. And the depth charges on the sides of the hull port and starboard of the after deck house only looked like that on the early round bridge Fletcher's. These were changed by 43 and had racks like the stern racks over them. And they also left out the midship torpedo tube loading crane. It should be located by the foreword stack. Other than those mistakes. It builds into a nice little replica of a square bridge fletcher.

Nice build. Just one thing that I don't think's been mentioned. You have your ship flying the small blue flag with the stars off the rear mast. This is actually the jack and will only ever be flown from the jackstaff in ghe bow. If it's flying then the ship will be anchored or alongside securely and the stars and stripes ensign will be flown from the ensign staff at the stern.

Great build of The Sullivans. Had you been aware of the Anatomy of the Ship series of books? Al Ross published a book on the destroyer in 1988, which had photographs and several line drawings, as well as perspective drawing, of each refit she had been given up until her decommissioning. I was lucky in getting a copy a few years back, and own Tamiya's 1/700 scale USS Cushing, and plan to convert her as one of the many Fletcher class destroyers that had participated at Leyte, in 1944. I hope all the best in you modelling endeavours. Thanks.

Did one of the Round bridge Fletchers these are a nice easy kit to work on... Until you lose your mind like I did and try converting it to RC. It only goes forward like it's on a catapult launcher and the rudder needs to be enlarged so it might actually do something. But she floats upright and moves.

Great build, I think though that you "catapult plane" at 10:48 is actually a towed device fitted to many WWII vessels that was used for mine clearing. Overall a great video, you should try doing ship models with photo etch, helps to get rid of some of those overly thick plastic parts!

Thanks for the info. Actually someone else has mentioned this as well. Now I know that destroyers do not have catapult planes (even though they look like). I am planning to build something with PE set in the future. I love how PE look but boy they are a lot of work.

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners yes, destroyers were too small to carry aircraft in WW2, you didn’t see catapult aircraft until light cruisers, but from then up they were pretty common. In regards to PE I understand completely. I have a 1/350 USS Missouri 1945 with complete PE set that I will be starting soon and looking at all the tiny parts is making me anxious haha.

Nice video, how ever you did make a few mistakes, the first being you have the Mk 37 gun director radar on side ways. the half moon screen actually hangs to the right side of the director. and the square director sits the other way. you have it on it's side. and Destroyers did not carry catapult aircraft. only cruiser's and Battleships did. the item you painted blue and called a catapult aircraft is a paravane they were towed through the water to cut lose mines. and they were painted the same color as the superstructure deck house. the 537 decal on the stern is too low it should actually be closer up from where you have it just beneath the stern depth charge racks. The shamrock decal also is on the wrong funnel. it should be on the foreword funnel just behind the spotlights. other than that the model looks fine

@@GeorgeModellingforBeginners Ahoy George, your model is fine. you did a nice job building her, and the paint job looks clean. there was just those few items I mentioned. but other wise the kit is well done. I too have that kit only I modeled her in the 43 version. and the company totally messed up the depth charge racks they are not open like they modeled them they are in small racks like the stern racks.....So even manufactures get some things wrong. I have the plans for DD-537 as she was in 43 and 45 that is how I learned about her. Plus I am currently converting and upgrading my old Lindberg Blue Devil Destroyer into The Sullivan's also as she appeared in 43. I prefer to model them in the beginning of their careers. Look foreword to seeing your next ship, Untill then May the wind be at your back, and Have a Merry Christmas Sir!
