dgbot Posted July 22, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2014 If this is not the location I am sure the moderaters will put it in the right place. I am looking for a photo etch set that I can use for my 1/250 model of the USS Maine. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

mhaas2 Posted August 20, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 20, 2014 This might be of help, Right time period and really close on scale at 1/240 https://www.whiteensignmodels.com/p/Gold+Medal+Models+1240+USS+OregonOlympia+GMM+24004/3181/#.U_UQc6NuVg8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted August 20, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 20, 2014 Well, I have a partial set. I think you may have trouble finding this, though, since it appears HMV are going wholesale on over to laser-cut detail sets. Frankly, the laser-cut sets are far easier to deal with. The brass parts have to be prepped (degreasing plus acid etch), primed, painted, cut out (carefully!), formed, assembled, and then touched up -- it adds up to a lot of work and a lot of hassle. I also have the PE sets for Undine, Emden, and Victoria Louise, but I will probably replace those with the laser-cut sets, if I ever get around to building any of them (I already have the laser-cut set for Emden, and it is very nice!). Your best bet to find a PE set, if you're absolutely set on getting one, is probably to dangle an ad at Paper Modelers. Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

dgbot Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted August 21, 2014 Lasercut would do as well. But so far not to much and what I was able to find is a little out of my price range right now. Thanks for replying everyone.
