Hi - beginner/intermediate modeler returning to building the Mantua Albatros Baltimore Clipper (1:40) scale after a long hiatus... the photos of the ship on the box show some wire wrapped around the mast - appears to be in a spiral - the plans show what appear to be mast hoops up the mast - but the instructions are silent on this. Is this really just brass wire wrapped in a spiral around the mast to simulate mast hoops? Any help you can provide would be deeply appreciated.
Photos of the mast and wire are below.

Hi - beginner/intermediate modeler returning to building the Mantua Albatros Baltimore Clipper (1:40) scale - am missing one of the cannons with carriage (see photos below). Does anyone know of a source for replacement cannons that I can order from in the US? I can find similar cannons on various model building websites, but not this exact one.
Many thanks

Thanks for the speedy response. That's what I thought would be the case... Just wanted to check with the experts first... I will find some mast hoops to place on the mast. This should make it look far more realistic.
