Well it's been a long time posting in the salty section, but I'm sort of back I have a project to build for later in 2010.

I'm also back with some questions:
I have the WSW 1/700 Strasbourg which I would like to detail with railings, fixtures and metal barrels, does any one know of pe sets for this kit and/or metal barrels for the 330/52 Mle 1931 and 130/45 Mle 1932 guns?

Ciao

Ahoy, Luciano, welcome back! (we've missed you! )

Dedicated PE sets, and barrels, I don't know of any, my friend...BUT, we have a crew-member that has built this beauty, Rob Kernaghan, which can be seen on-site here....

I'll check my references and do some digging to see what I can find, and lets see if any of our ship-mates can lend a hand also...might pay to drop our friend JB (Jean-Bernard Andre), as well as Peter Fulgoney a pm and see if they can offer any tips as well...keep us posted!

Cheers,
~Gunny

Thanks Gunny,

I've done some looking around and found the name plaques as seen on the French ships available from L'Arsenal and they also make WWII French railings but thats about it.

Anyway I have the excellant French Battleships 1922 - 1956 book so detail and colours are not a problem.
