@robthatguyx The main deck, being in one piece is "floppy". I would use some form of hull spacer or transverse ribs located every 3 to 4 inches from bow to stern to allow the deck to affix to the hull and to provide rigidity. Some people install a coaming around the perimeter of the inside hull to support the deck and prevent water coming in; same purpose but I think the hull would benefit from internal bracing.

i have one of these im building its having a hardtime fitting the top to the hull smoothly did you have the same problem

Another small ship travelling at ridiculous speeds.

I'm late in reply, but you are mostly correct, SIERRAXR4ICOSIE. What is funny about his "Blue Devil" is the way he also whips it around the pond in tight circles like a speed boat; that is more unscale to me. But the Fletchers were fairly agile little craft.

I have bought this kit 3 times in my life. easy build if you dont mind it being way off scale, also the Fletcher class destroyer only had a single rudder if you build the Blue devil version.

It is a well known timeless model from Lindberg. I saw it first in the 60's when I was a kid and could not afford to buy it. This model is off scale with today's view point, but for sure it has often been a very good and cheap mass production plastic to have fun with and replace with.

Thats cool... Im just gettin into this hobby and love the warships... How does this model perform? I currently have a smasher, (toy) destroyer rc warship... the weight is off center probly because its a toy and the rear of the ship is constantly dipping into the water...

The destroyer types or any battleship types belong to displacement hull type which has a special feature of rear end sinking when exceeding a speed/lenght ratio. Lenght of your toy destroyer must be short and hull round with no flat rear bottom end. So its rear sank.
The Lindberg hull is 36" long with flat bottom and flat rear end. So it is a good boat to begin with. Keep weight of the boat to the Mid-front portion of the boat and keeping the rear end light.

The boat only powers by 2 x 400 motors with Graupner 25mm propellers and 6 sub-c Ni-cad.The power plant indeed is very basic.
