With the amount of design history of the FLETCHER class, it shouldn't take much effort for a 3-D printed designer to come up with such a 1/700 scale kit. That is IF the kit designers actually took the effort to find the material to do a decent design. Trumpeter certainly didn't do that with their THE SULLIVANS kits. iLove with their new FLETCHER class kits are a big improvement. Currently only early Round Bridge versions have been released. There are still problems, but can easily be corrected except for light AA armament and wrong radar on the FLETCHER kit that needs replaced. Whether they will continue with Square Bridge kits is unknown at this point. I'm certain iLove is a part of the Trumpeter Corp., since Trumpeter is making 1/200 scale versions and iLove is making 1/350 scale versions of the same subjects. Trumpeter has announced a 1/200 scale kit of USS THE SULLIVANS, but for which timeframe? Some sources show the late-WWII Anti-Kamikaze mod while other sources show the 1950-60's 4-Gun version.
