Included in the set of window frames are:

  • Private Promenade Deck

INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions cover three pages on two sheets of paper, and are very detailed.  The windows in the fret are designed specifically for each kit, and identified as such.

BLACK for Hobby Boss
RED for Revell
BLUE for Academy
CONCLUSIONS
This photo-etch set in just another option in Tom's range of 1/700 Olympic-class accessories that will allow fans of these historic liners to dress up any, or all, of these famous ships, regardless of manufacturer.  

This is another really well done set of photo-etch, albeit a very small one (not even 2" x 1.5").  These window frames will be a nice improvement on the raised molded frames on the Academy kit, and should help dress up the Revell kit as well.  The Hobby Boss kits have very nicely molded windows, but these will be an upgrade even for those kits.

The set retails for $5.00 USD, and is available directly from Tom's Modelworks, who'd I'd like to thank for this review sample.   Highly recommended.
