More neat 1/7000 photoetched stuff from Lion Roar. This time it is US Navy Carrier Cranes and Landing Set. Basically you get cranes for an Essex class carrier, three styles for a Yorktown class carrier, one for a Lexington class and a crane for an Independence class ship. There are also a set of Essex class deck edge radio masts, an LSO platform with safety net and a bunch of arresting gear sheaves and barricade wire attachments (those are the itsy bitsy pieces).

The sheet includes full assembly instructions for these various types and construction for the majority of them consists of a few simple bends.  Typical of Lion Roar, each piece is double backed with plastic to make it easier to remove from the sheet. A neat set of update bits that should look good on your next project.
