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.

The Scout is now in the paint shop the first area to be painted is the lower part of the hull. The colour used on this section US14 Antifouling red. This a large model so most of the paint work will have be applied by spraying. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
