Hi guys
here is some pics ot the set. The more I lokk at it & read the instructions the more I am taken with with what has been includes.

below is a close of thr gun deck supports and crane rigging

crane booms & boat gantry details

railings and radars

funnel hand rails, life raft bottoms, ladders and cable reels, and more radars

all in all a first class set. I am glad to see that no sheilds etc were included for the single 40mm as I personally feel that would have been a waste as what is providedin thekit is more than adequate. I think the funnel handrails are a great addition, I have been having real fun trying to get scrap 1/700th railings to conform the the Graf spee's tower & funnel.
Sorry John, I don't have a clue about facebook, so I am afriad I can't help you there, but I will gladly email you any of the images it that would help.

Well, looking over the set I can see it will make some great improvements to the kit. 
After seeing this I will have to change up what I was planning to buy to detail mine up. Great job once again WEM!

I must admit I am really looking forward to getting grips with it. 
WEM's etch has always been excellent, but with this and the Illustrious set I think they have taken another step forward.
Well done WEM

Pleasure James, I just need to finish a few things that I am working on, but I will post some pics once I get her underway, probable towards the end of the year.
