Boy, Lion's Roar is really coming on. I believe this is the first time I have ever seen turned depth charges. I wish they would have a set like this for the Fletcher kits.

I hear ya, Gator!
This has got to be one of the most impressive looking upgrade sets that I've seen, I'm quite curious as to what the actual MSR will be. . .estimated at around $65.00 USD, which, IMHO is definitely reasonable for the size and content of this kit. . .

Not knocking our good friends at WEM, but that would be a steal for a set that includes PE, turned brass and resin turrets! You would spend more than that for what's on the market today with no turned depth charges.

Agreed upon whole heartedly, mate. . .I just found these listed at a Japanese wholesaler for a pre-order price at 6840 yen, which currently=58.9516 USD! A major steal!!!
