Light AA weapons
The ship’s Pom Pom mounts came from the kit with the addition of photo etch from the detail set.
The twin powered 20mm Oerlikon mounts were again the kit examples with their gun barrels replaced with photo etch parts.
The single 20 mm Oerlikon mounts were replaced, I used only the conical pedestal mounting the photo etch parts for the remainder. The additional 20’s (4 of them) were made from photo etch and the conical mount from the tip of a wooden cocktail stick. The zarebas (gun mounts) were made from hollow round plastic tube the same size as kit examples. This was cut to correct height and mounted onto a thin piece of plastic card. The join was carefully sanded and hay presto a gun mount, well four of them.
Aft superstructure
Again this was virtually out of the box except for photo etch railings, ladders and hatches/doors from WEM detailing set. I did leave off the equipment lockers parts F29 and F14 until after the wooden deck had been attached. I used the WEM aerials for the directors.
Main gun turrets
These were built straight from box, with only their gun barrel ends being drilled out.
