BigGrin Hi Mike thanks for time and effort for posting pics
of pompoms
I kinda grew to a halt on my Repulse pompoms as not too keen on how they looked with parts supplied so decided to scratch build certain areas
I have found several pics on internet etc to follow but will use your pics as a guide too
Most helpful for me so carry on posting please
