@JD_Goff @Rockor_Cos Other night firing pics of #BB56. The last 3 are from LIFE mag photographer Frank Scherschel (possibly his brother Joe Scherschel)
Just added the stern gun tubs to my 1/350 November 1942 USS Washington (BB 56) build
The kit tubs are more accurately sized than the Five Star PE detail set
1.1”/75’s will fill these tubs

Not sure of the material. Brand Kaigexin
1/350 scale. Thinking 0.03mm for the main horizontal hull lines
