Wow. And I thought I had a lot of small parts.

Plastic from the kit.
I ordered some 5"/38 twin mounts from Alliance Model Works. I really didn't like the kit ones or the PE on them. These have PE, brass barrels and resin turrets.

Those sound nice!

They look pretty nice. I'll get them sometime next week.

I've never seen any thing from alliance in person but the photos of their stuff online look awesome and the prices don't seem outrageous for what you get.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thanks Floki, I'm looking forward to them. These will decide whether or not I continue with them. Their ship parts line looks impressive.

Re: 1/350 Trumpeter USS North Carolina
This weeks work
I received some new 5" 38 twin mounts from Alliance Model Works this weekend and look good. My dog knocked off the kit box on the the floor. I picked up everything I thought but later I heard a crunch. My young Lab found the kit's mount and was using it as a snack. I'm glad I ordered the new ones I've ordered the SK-2 radar. I just couldn't bend a flat screen of PE into a concave dish without there being a crease. The one I ordered is more like the wire dish that really was. Looks
I've also ordered the 20mm Oerlikons in 3D. The PE ones just don't have any character.

Not that I am implying for you speed up on this, but I really can’t wait to see this one completed. The detailing is just incredible!
