| Alliance ModelWorks has a new set of 1/350 floater net baskets available for US Navy ships. Several sizes are provided with brackets and even life raft bottom netting. | |
| FRET 1 | |
| The first fret contains the main parts with finely etched baskets. There are several types of brackets that are wall mount and floor mount styles. Those brackets fold in half to give a more substantial appearance. The raft netting allows you to cut away the plastic flooring that is provided with most kits and replace with more realistic netting. | |

| FRET 2 | |
| This fret has the floats that are typically stowed in the brackets. They are a little flat, but you can thicken them up by applying super glue and painting.. Bend them to fit and place them in the basket for a more realistic look. | |
