Close ups of some of the fret details.

INSTRUCTIONS

There is a small instruction sheet that show you how to assemble each size/style of fret. You'll have to add a small plastic or metal rod from you modeling supplies during construction.

CONCLUSIONS

This is a very nicely etched fret, featuring a variety of sizes/styles of cable reels. The relief etching is a nice touch. This will be a nice set for those IJN super-detailers out there. This is North Star Models set NSA 700028, IJN WWII Cable Reels. It retails for about $7.00 USD, and is available from many of our sponsors. Recommended.

Thanks to North Star Models for the review sample.
