Are the quad pom poms the kit ones? They look the part.

Geoff this is an OOB build only thing I have had to add is some ladders on the bridge that the carpet monster managed to get hold of the kit Pom Pom are good but very fiddly

Well build complete but had a bit of a miss hap with the boarding ladders on the port side while trying to straighten them over did it and they got a bit mangled so will have to try and fix  :headbang:

 

anyway just the rigging to go when I get the ladders sorted will have to see if Sid the Spider is available to help with the fine lines of Uschi thread  :spider:

May have been a bit stunted but you wouldn't want to meet her on a dark night .....

 

Occurs to me that for anyone thinking of having a go at a 1/350 battleship this would be a good kit to try your hand, seems to have a bit of everything.

Doing a grand job matey
