Thanks Si, there would be etch later on...a ship without PE railings would be naked.

Here's a little more Si.
The torpedo tubes were also made up as separate assemblies as they'd be in the same gray as the superstructure. The molding of these were superb with nearly no seam lines. I don't think there are any piping given in the PE set or if there were any visible along the tubes. Will have to check references. The covered control dome doesn't have a door so will add one.
The mounts are on poly capped pedestals too and easily fits into sockets in the platform deck between the funnels.

Thanks guys, it always helps when the kit is well planned and molded by the manufacturer.

Thanks Andrew, I've stopped this for a while to add PE railings for the 1/700 Clifton Sprague...forgotten how tiny they are and just got the bow area done.
Cheers,

Hi Chris, I'm afraid I lost mojo on this and am concentrating on the Constipation and the other dioramas for the moment. Will come to it when I get a boost from another viewing of Greyhound.
Cheers,
