PHOTOETCH FRETS |
|
This new set from Lion Roar is designed to upgrade the turrets on your
1/350 Yamato
and Musashi kits. It includes only the items used on the main guns so you
can mix and match it with other photo etch sets. The etching is pretty
good with plenty of relief etched details and some really cool items that
will really make those massive guns stand out. These items are also included
in the Yamato Class Super detail
set. |
|
Some of the items included are the blast bag frames,
and shell catchers. Ladder detail and light anti aircraft guns and shields
for the turret tops.
|
MAIN GUN BARRELS |
|
The main gun barrels are machined from brass with realistic tapers
and hollowed out ends with realistic thin walls. The barrels have a locating
pin on the end to help with placement. Grooves are machined on the base
and these look very much like the monster 18" guns used on the Japanese
super battleships. |

|
INSTRUCTIONS |
|
Instructions are two pages with several subassembly view
and one page dedicated to identifying the parts. These are pretty good,
but it would be nice if more information was provided.
