Does anyone make a PE set for Trumpeter 1/700 1915 Warspite? I did a search of the usual suspects but found nothing interesting. Or do I have to go with generic RN railing, stairs, etc? Could I use WEM's WWl Queen E class PE set? Or parts of it?

I have neither model or PE set but I would say yes.
The QE class had very few differences in their first years, actually quite difficult to identify them on pics.

Pit Road have issued the kit with PE. I would give it a little time mate as the kit has not been out very long. Patience Grasshopper..

Ratz!! Now I'll have to put it back in the box. I've already started a bit of it. It definitely looks better than Trumpeter's previous models, but something looks not quite right with the main gun's muzzle's, and there seems to be a little too much tolerance between the main decks and hull fit. It would be a nice touch if Trumpeter started boring out the muzzles of the main guns. I hate having to drill them out myself and having the hole slightly off-center.
