Came in the kit.  If I had to make them I would cut the dowel to size and chamfer the top edge. By doing this diameter at the top would be smaller than the bottom hope this makes sence. {:-{ {:-{ {:-{ {:-{

Shows just how good American kitting was in the fifties  O0  Just wonder how it would have turned out if you'd made an effort %)

It is an impressive kit and model but not a very attractive ship in my view but congratulations on improving the build.

Well done, an impressive model, will look even more impressive when all the derricks are rigged.
