| Shelf Oddity of Poland has sent us
some upgrade sets for review. This one is set SO700177, USN
Rangefinders and Gun Directors for Fast Battleships, Suitable for South
Dakota Class. Shelf Oddity also makes separate Fast Battleship
Rangefinders and Directors sets for both the Iowa (two different verions)
and North Carolina class battleships.
The set includes 4 Mk 37 Fire Director (Straight back walls) and 2 Mk 38 Main Battery Fire Director (Slanted Back), all packaged together on a resin wafer. |

| THE RANGEFINDERS AND DIRECTORS | ||||||
| The parts arrive in a plastic tube, with a small piece of packaging tucked into the bottom of the tube, to prevent the wafer from moving. The 3D printing is terrific. Everything is crisp with sharp details. There are no instructions or photo-etch included. | ||||||

| CONCLUSIONS | ||||||
| These rangefinders and directors are very nice.
I'm impressed with how crisply they are printed. They will certainly
dress up any of the 1/700 South Dakota class battleships in your scale
model fleet. Highly recommended!
This is Shelf Oddity set SO700177, USN Rangefinders and Gun Directors for Fast Battleships, Suitable for South Dakota Class. They retail for about $ 7.00 USD, and are available directly from Shelf Oddity's website, whom I'd like to thank for the review sample. |
