Does anybody know if we will receive brass etch railings to go around the deck of this model.

The kit provides brass pins and thread, which is loopedfrom stanchion to stanchion.

I believe arpurchase located some etched brass railing from a USA supplier.

BigGrin Hi Prussian.guard
As Mr T has said i did manage to find some 1/250 scale etch by Gold Medal which includes a full set of shaped hull railings and some ancilary railings.It also hase the walkways for both fire control stations,the wood ones supplied with the kit are adequate but i wanted a more scale look there is also more scale fittings included like the weather stations and radars.The etch is top quality but there is a drawback with the cost as i could only source it from the USA.
It cost me around £130 all in that breaks down to about £80 for the etch plus postage and £23 import/vat charge so its a big outlay but the results are impresive i posted a pic on my build diary,hope this is of help
regards
Andy
