Ahoy mates,

Does anyone know of a good PE railings kit for a Trumpeter 1:350 US Navy Destroyer, "The Sullivans"?

Thank you,
Gary

Hi Gary,

I have the Tom's Modelworks set, which is nice. I do believe that GMM and WEM both put out a set. I think the only consideration is how much do you want to spend.

I used the Gold Medal set. The only drawback was the "pre-formed railing" didn't fit quite as advertised - you have to fiddle with them a bit. I had to cut some lengths in sections to make them fit, which sort of defeats the purpose of them being pre-formed...

Also L'Arsenal has a nice all in one upgrade set.

If I ever motivate myself I plan on reviewing that .

I have the Tom's set and it is top notch.

Thanks for the advice. I found a Tom Modelworks set at my LHS which is great since they don't carry that much in the way of PE.

Thanks again...

Gary
