Lion Roar 1/350 IJN Railings

Reviewed by Timothy Choi

Lion Roar's 1/350 IJN railings should be suitable for most WWII IJN subjects. With the plethora of new kits that have been released lately, many of them are in their radar-less early-war guise, and only needs a bit of railing to finish them off. This set is the perfect addition for such kits at a relatively low price.

PHOTO ETCH FRETS

Fret A includes relief etched main deck railings with drooped chain/cable effect. The main disadvantage is that they do not have the upward sweep that is prevalent on many vessels.

Fret A

Fret B is in a separate sleeve stapled behind Fret A's sleeve and contains the railings for the upper decks.

INSTRUCTIONS

The single-sided "instructions" are in Chinese and gives a rough idea of which railing type is used for which decks of a generic vessel.

CONCLUSIONS

This set is a cheap and inexpensive way to dress up your IJN vessels, especially those without radars and not in desparate need for a complete detail set. This is set LE350002 Japanese Ship Rail.
