Building the USS Johnston DD-557 Fletcher Class Destroyer 1/700 Scale Model Ship

Great ,enjoyable ,calm video. Also giving information about the ship itself was wonderful. Thnak you so much.

Stunning! I am building the same kit with the same PE parts. What kind of glue are you using to adhere the PE?

I can almost hear Capt. Evans, "Hard about! Flank speed!"

Wow, just wow!
THanks for sharing this, it looks amazing.
I never built a shipmodel myself, but i have a healthy interest ;-)

I think that if he put the right back ground in, And took a black and white photo, the picture taken would look like an actual WWII picture.

Excellent dio and your PE skills are sublime mate!

Great color of the sea!

You forgot some really big pieces, but they might have been too heavy to lift. I'm of course talking about the massive steel balls of Captain Evans and his crew.
PS: They just found her wreckage, and she is the deepest wreck found to date. She's relatively intact too with her guns still aimed out for broadsides. The back third of the ship broke off during the sinking from the hit she took from Yamato's main guns about that far back. She is absolutely filled with holes.

WHAT IS THE GLUE BEING USED? Bueller, anyone?

Great work.
Much appreciated.

Whats the music you used?

Beautiful model

Wow! Your work reminds me a lot master Frank Spahr's.

How many hours of work does it take to build a diorama of medium complexity?

Hell... even watching you make this was pretty.

Wow nicely done my friend 😀😀😀😀

Great PE work. What do you use to apply the CA glue.

What's the music after the story

You sure do make it look easy!

This is like the heart surgeon of the model world. If I ever attempted anything like this my end result would resemble a crushed tin can of sardines. Well done, awesome skills!

Very well done!!! I'm very impressed! What cement do you use by the syringe?

i HATE p.e.😲

That is simply a fantastic model. I wisg I had the skill and courage to attempt the same ( not even in 350th, so, there). One critique, and this is something I picked up in my own days in the Navy- "Close those hatches, shipmate!"

Nice model. Great build. But i have a question whats the intro song?

This is my next build. Can't wait!

I think realism shoud be increased if you added some wet effects on the hull and deck... but still amazing work!

What did you use to make the water shiny ??

Wow much learned on PE techniques.. Thank you so much

You forgot the Giant set of Steel Balls.

迫力出てますね！

Great work, as always. You're an inspiration. Thanks so much for your work.

the water is amazing

10% model kit, 90% aftermarket details))) Amazing job!

having a hard time finding a model like this with the small part details like the railings and such. Anybody have any idea where to get this?

Amazing talent, thanks for sharing all these builds!

Outstanding! Salute.

Nice diorama!

Fantastic build, honoring a remarkable event in the Pacific War...

Commander Evans was a hero.

What type of glue do you use I always have trouble finding a good glue

i feel as though i saw one of these somewhere once, i can't remember if it were in north carolina or south carolina or georgia, but i remember flying down and seeing a ship called the uss leffey.

Wonderful but I imagine a nightmare bending and glueing.

The wreck of the uss johnston was just recently found

Very good!
Please...1/700 Nimitz.

I am glad that he included the detail of the Japanese commander saluting the sinking jonnston

O 👍

Where did you get the details set from?

Remarkably well done!

Every inch a fighting ship. Her skipper was a true warrior.

My Dad was a Tin-Can sailor, torpedoman mate on a Fletcher Class.
They may have been Tin Can ships, but the sailors were iron men.
