1/700 Ticonderoga and Spruance CLASS
Photo etch set by Flagship Models

If you are building the one of the 1/700 kits of the Ticonderoga or Spruance Class Cruisers or Destroyers such as the Bunker Hill CG-60 then you need a good Photo Etch set to detail it out. Flagship has one such set with plenty of parts to detail out the ship.

Note: image scanned in B&W to allow higher resolution without increasing file size.

Some of the parts included in the set are: Bow rails with slant to match kit two, three and five bar rails crewmen Seahawk helicopter rotors ready and folded. Radar assemblies SPS-49 and SPS-40 Safety nets for helo deck yardarm foot ropes anchor with chain various antennas inclined stairs	The instructions are well illustrated and show not only where all the parts go, but also the parts on the plastic kit that they replace.

Conclusions: A great set that has the right details to make your Cruiser or Destroyer stand out. The relief etching on the rotors help create a 3D effect. If you plan on building any of the Ticonderoga Class Aegis Cruisers or Spruance Class DD's then this set is just what you need to finish it in style.
