Ive bought a couple of IJN destroyers and an brittish o class destroyer to practice some skills on.

Who makes pe depth charge racks and progectors? I seem to see upgrades on the models here? I see lion roar makes racks for US ships . Are these interchangable for other nationalities ?

Any help appreciated

Depth charge racks and throwers are sometimes in general P.E.kits depending on the ship. Are you working in 1/700 scale?

Ahoy Allen,
LionRoar has a brand new release that I think will be the ticket for your IJN needs, mate...

IJN

Depth Charge Set

You will have to check different places to see who has them in stock. I am not sure about the Royal Navy.

Hello Allen,
Do not forget White Ensign. They have alot of items for Royal Navy ships.
