NOTES:

Etched Metal

This set provides caissons for the standard Oerlikon AA guns that were used on USN ships during WWII. In case you are wondering what a caisson is, it is basically a box. In this case, an ammunition box. Who came up with this word? Well, in the words of Capt Jack Sparrow "That would be the French". The set provides a considerable number of these, all the same size and in case you hadn't noticed, Lion Roar etched sets do not have those pesky fret attachment threads. The parts are held between two sheets of slightly sticky plastic. One merely peels back a bit, picks out the part and bends. Can't be much simpler and will add a lot to your next USN ship build.
