If only I could�ve traded all those things I didn�t use for railings.. it could�ve saved me the trouble of buying extra ones. I bought Yamashiro�s set first and then Fuso�s, I finished up the railings on Yamashiro with some of the Fuso�s set then I had to buy Tom�s generic railings to finish up Fuso this is the only setback I see on the entire set, the small amount of railings. I used some things from these very same P.E sets on my newly finished Kongo. Some leftovers which I couldn�t find any use for them on the models were davits, catapult and boat cradles, swinging booms, some ladders too, anchors, jacktaff (I like to scratchbuild these ones) it keeps going and most of them I know what are they used for however there was something and do check the picture, #25 what in the world are those things? I could only guess these have to do with the rigging and if they do I still don�t know how to use them.
- what are those?

Don�t forget my Fuso is the resin one from HIGH-MOLD and this makes it incompatible up to some extent though, I had to scratchbuild one of Fuso�s levels and fill up a couple of gaps with putty on the bottom level but it can most likely be used on this resin kit, now, if you have the new Aoshima kit I don�t see you going over the same problems I had, this set was solely designed for this kit.
