MeneMene Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I'm working on the 1/350 Hasegawa Mikasa with the lovely Pontos detail set. I've spend the past few months carefully setting up the walkway and booms that hold the torpedo net. I plan to have the net stowed, so the booms are folded against the hull. I'm planning on recreating the rolled up net with a folded/rolled length of nylon tights. The thing I'm not sure of is what sort of diameter the net is supposed to have. The problem I'm running into is that the 6 inch battery guns have a hatch that falls out and rests against the torpedo net walkway like so: This doesn't leave much space for the net to pass underneath it. Would the rolled up net be small enough to fit in that space? Phrased differently, should I make things work so that I glue the hatches so that they fold all the way down to touch the walkway, or would the hatches be resting on top of the torpedo net and leave a gap? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Aris Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 @MeneMene good evening does the hatch def drop downwards, and not raised upwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeneMene Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Yes. As pictured is the "open" position of the hatch. 23 minutes ago, Kevin Aris said: @MeneMene good evening does the hatch def drop downwards, and not raised upwards? Yes. This is the open position of the hatch. The hinge points are immediately below the gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
