Details of the forward hull and correct position of the anchor, rope tie-down, and locker hatch. |

Correct position of the gun-stops for the forward Mk 48 Gun Turret. |

Correct location for the fuel breathing tube and filler spout. |
|
Correct location of the lifting hooks positioned port and starboard. |
 Parts required for the aft .50 cals; you will need two sets. |
 How to assemble the Mark 26 Tripod legs. |
|
Correct placement of the assembled Mark 26 Tripod. Also note the correct locations for the lifting hooks and minesweeping gear on the rear deck. |
Completely assembled deck-mounted .50 Cal MG. Notice in the background the two bunks attached to the top of the engine compartment canopy. |
Correct method for building the safety gate on the rear deck using the kit supplied styrene rod. |
The last step is to attach the safety chain. Rather than use the kit supplied chain, I used an old gold necklace, which was the exact scale size. Here is a great Super tip...ask permission from your wife if you decide to use her necklace to ensure its not 24K gold! |
