The parts that get me, are barrel shrouds...how in the F is one supposed to get a perfect cylinder, or even a "pass" with those things....especially in 72nd.

They actually expected you to bend 1/72 barrel shrouds into a cylinder? That's when I KNOW that these PE manufacturers are simply messing with us.

Torpedoes complete...
I added aluminum pins...fits very snug, without any glue!
Scratched up an aluminum tubing boarding ladder...
Couple pit shots, before getting closed in...
