I just got the Ships that I ordered from Squadron they got here on friday which means it took less than a week for them to arrive. I placed my order on Saturday just before Memorial Day. He said that they would ship it on Tuesday that means it took only 4 Days for it to get to me here for me in New York. That nice man with the Fed-Ex truck came knocking on my door at 1:30 and handed me this Big Box from Squadron. It was Filled those 1/400 scale I had sent for and i've been combing over all the little parts ever since , playing with them and test fitting them for hours.
I am very happy so far and pleased with what seems to be a lot of detail for there seemingly Soooo Small Size. This is so much of a Mind Bender with the Relative Size of things after building all of those Armor Kits. After ten years of 1/35 scale 1/400 scale seems Soooo Hellishly Tiny. The Heller ship (Maille Breze) a Cruiser (Large Destroyer) came with these neat little plastic 3 rail railing & anchor chain. The Mirage Ships (Orp Wicher and Orp Burza) didn't come with any railing at all and no KewL looking anchor chain either. But it seems they have a bit more detail.
Is there any plastic Railing out there for after market , or do you have to go right into photo etch railing and if so what one is both=A0the Best and Easiest to work with. How are they installed and is there Photo Etch for the Tops of the Funnels as well.
Please understand that Cost is also one factor here for me as I have to keep to a pretty tight budget here for my modeling.
I do hope you won't mind me asking this. But would any of you have some any the Heller Plastic Railing that you might not be going to use or some extra pieces of Photo Etch Railings from some sets that you may not be going to use or anything else extra that you might not be needing which I could experiment with and learn just how to instal on the Ships that I got.
I'm going to do a Diorama in which most have suffered Heavy Damage so there is going to be a Ton of Debris in the water around them & Deep Cuts into the Hulls.
I do Hope I haven't done anything wrong by asking for and hoping for the kindness of others here within the Group. If I have then I most humbly do apologize and say that it was never my intent to do anything to fall out of favor with the Fine Bunch of Folks here in the Group in any way.
Please believe me in my having said that.
Thanks Soooo very much for all the Help.
