Thanks as usual to Eduard for providing us the latest upgrades for our AMS builds. Eduard’s photoetch is world-class; so here’s a simple upgrade opportunity for the ship builders… the elusive railings for stairways!

During my recent IPMS build of the new Academy “HMS Warspite”, I used a section of this railing for one of the stair sections to the upper fighting top area. Simple as can be; measure, cut, superglue in place. Worth every penny… Railing is always difficult to find, and I appreciate Eduard developing this set. 10 of 10!

In the decade since America engaged in the War on Terror following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the war in Afghanistan has been an ongoing campaign to hem in and eradicate the Taliban and other radical Muslim entities which have held the country hostage since the departure of Soviet forces and provided safe haven and support for the Al Queda operatives behind the 9/11 attacks.

As most of you armor modelers know, Griffon Model has been making photo-etch accessories for just about every aspect of Military Modeling for quite a long time and is regarded as one of the leading manufacturers of photo etch and other aftermarket products. Their name is among the best in the business.

This particular sample is the 3.7cm Ammo Shell Cases (spent shells) for the 3.7cm Flak in 1/35 scale. These are obviously made for adding that extra degree of detail that we modelers strive for to enhance our personal masterpieces.

This package contains sixteen spent shell casings made of brass with that extra margin of detail which shows the engraved circles inherent to this specific type of shell. They are approximately 3/8” long and the machining is amazing. Needless to say, there are no instructions included.
