THE FRET |
There are two distinct styles of emergency
life raft holders on this set. Part 1 is a stand alone part.
Parts 2 and 3 combine to make one part. The set has over
60 of Part 1 and over 30 of the Part 2 & 3 life raft holders. |
Close ups of some of the fret details.
The instructions are a single, small piece of paper,
with some arrows showing how to fold the parts into shape, and where to
place the lift rafts within the part. There is no indication of where
they would go on any particular ship, so be sure to consult your references.

CONCLUSIONS |
|
There are very thin and delicate looking
parts. Be careful when cutting them off the fret and when bending
them. If you want to super detail your Essex Class Carrier,
this will come in handy. This is Lion Roar set R7071, WWII USN Liferaft
Stents. They retail for $8.25, and are available from many of our sponsors.
Thanks to LionRoar for the review sample. Recommended. |
