PHOTOETCH FRET |
|
Here's a handy little photo etch fret for US Navy Battleships of WW2
and earlier. The set has two different types of catapults with enough to
do one modern and one older battleship. The older style features the turret
top and single stern type found on the Arizona and is typical of prewar
BB's. The other set if the stern mounted twin catapults found on North
Carolina, South Dakota, and Iowa class BB's. |

The set is etched in stainless steel using relief etching
to highlight the thickness and give it a more 3D look. Also included is
the aircraft cradles and details for SOC, Kingfishers, and Sea Hawk float
planes. Aircraft wing struts and canopy frames are among the included items.
