And that's just silly. There might be a discrepancy or two, so please feel free to point them out.

Just make sure to remove the black lines on the midships 20mm gun tub that you're using to mark their curvature. Instead, use the dark gray color that I used on the 20mm gun tub abeam the pilot house. Well done. e: Also, make sure the title EXACTLY matches the other Fletcher DDs on the site. IIRC it should be: USA, Fletcher Class USS The Sullivans (DD-537) (Colosseum & klagsldf) But I might be mistaken, so check and make sure it matches first.

Yes!
The square windows of the bridge erre the most evident modification of the second series.

These guns were meant to deal with enemy planes crossing the bows.
