Now that is the first 1/18 I have seen to fit a guy inside.
Didn't know a WW2 Fletcher class carried helos and a ton of gun turrets.
Really love this guys building talents.

I think there was a post on here a few years ago about a guy who had The Bismarck Battleship done the same way. He could get inside and drive it around. Way cool toys

Don't know why he put "based on post-WWII Fletcher class" as it doesn't really resemble one when you compare pics.
Some of the ships were refitted with DASH helicopters after WWII (and on the Sumner and Gearing derivatives), but those sure weren't the same as the UH60 he put on the rear.

Love the Graf Spee, especially like the touch of the builders glasses on the upper deck. Maybe it represents some kind of secret weapon reflecting the suns rays.
I'm tooooo cranky today.
