Have you actually ran the ship at full duration of the battery? So far my 1/200 Yamato and Coast Guard are grounded due to poor quality electronics. Anyone can let me know if these boats have improved electronics that actually works? Thanks Dai

No I have not run her full duration yet.

The electronics look great ! I mean other more experienced people will improve them but for me more than adequate.

Hello all,

I just purchased the Fletcher. It has been a few years since I order these ships ( I have 3 from Graupner and 2 from Brancroft). I would like to know if the electronics are improved and ready to run? My 1/200 Brancroft Yamato is a queen shelf as the electronics are junk and cannot be used. Dai

awesome kingsnake & Smedley yes i always unhook both of the transmitions line where the funnels are i also took out the blockage inside both the funnels or stacks on esty.com u can order 1:72 scale figurines called navy Seabees and they fit in the gun turrets that the sailor would sit in = antiaircraft guns i also fix my positional static Gun turret by having it printed 3d by a 3d printer, check out my battleship pictures.

Got mine today and WOW ! What a Behemoth lol ! Does one need to always unhook the rigging from the mast to the funnels to lift up and access the on off switch ? Thank you

Hello everyone!
This is my first posting on this sight. Today my Bancroft 1/72 Fletcher Class destroyer arrived. It's awesome! The only issue I have has to do with the twin 40mm Bofors guns and the 20mm AA guns; its just that they lack detail, but I know there are several aftermarket parts available...so...anyway, I take it that if I need assistance this is the place to go.

Must say, I'm impressed by the quality of the model for a RTR.
