Hi Guys Bit of help required with some parts. I can't figure out what these strips of metal are they are not the same as the instructions state. I am wondering if these are the "Loadline" if they are there doesn't seem to be enough.  Any help appreciated  eebygum attached the following image(s): FINISHED BUILDS---- HMS Victory--Bismarck--Battleship Yamato-D51 Steam Train--Pocher Ferrari Testarossa--Soleil Royal--Schnellboot S-100--StageCoach 1848--HMS HOOD-- Delorean (Back to the Future)

Hi EBG When I built mine the loadline was a rolled up piece of brass wire which I discarded and replaced with plastic strip 1mm x 0.5mm. Are the strips you have made of lead and have lumps cast along there length if they are they are for the loadline as they are like the ones provided with the Akagi. If they are wire then they are to be cut to length to make the guns for the anti-aircraft gun pods.

Hi Andy Yes they are made of lead and have small ridges on them if they are the loadline there doesn't seem to be enough I will have a look through my kit and see if there are anymore. Having looked at the Official Build by Tomick and your build I think I will go for the plastic strips Thanks for looking and the advice much appreciated Cheers Rgds Terry FINISHED BUILDS---- HMS Victory--Bismarck--Battleship Yamato-D51 Steam Train--Pocher Ferrari Testarossa--Soleil Royal--Schnellboot S-100--StageCoach 1848--HMS HOOD-- Delorean (Back to the Future)

The lead de-gaussing strips(with the bobbles) look ok but the plastic ones Andy and Tom used are so much better. get more control over laying them too. Chris On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.
