Iron Shipwright makes a couple of post-war mod Fletchers in 1:350 scale.   They are the Renshaw and Jenkins.   The Jenkins includes the tripod masts and post-war weapons (weapon ALFA, 3-inch twins). I have the Jenkins, the Renshaw doesn't have a tripod. 

I was concerned with the quality of the masting, based on past experience with some of ISW's masts,  but the engineering & casting method of the masting has improved so that it went together well.

Otherwise - no aftermarket.  You may have to scratch your own.  For that 'Anatomy of the Ship - The Sullivans' may be your best reference

as winter approaches,I'm thinking ahead to resuming work on my 1/350 Fletchers.Has anyone put out an AM part for the Tri-pod mast with the two radar platforms ? I'm still working on the 4 different cofigurations of the DD652,a square bridge, late war Tin Can.I'm using both the Tamiya(445) and Trumpter(537) kits and trying to get the best parts of both to do them ! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.Thanks
