Gold Medel Models PE review
Reviewed by Sean Hert
With the many recent 1/350 IJN releases, many of them simply need some etched railing to complete the project; or, perhaps you needs a few additional pieces of railing to complete a model. If either of this situations sounds familiar, GMM has a solution for you; a 1/350 IJN Railing set! This fret has 5 styles of railing, for a total of 6,000 scale feet of railing!

CONCLUSIONS

It's a fret of photo-etched railings- what more needs to be said? Any modeler who enjoys 1/350 Imperial Japanese navy subjects should add this set to their bag of tricks. This set would also be a great introduction for a modeler looking to try photoetch for the first time.

This is set #350-48 IJN Railings for $35.00 US. You can get it direct from Gold Medal Models or pick your set up wherever fine ship accessories are sold. Paypal is now accepted.
