I have seen photos of TCG ?STANBUL (D340) ex-US Destroyer USS CLARENCE K. BRONSON, with and without the Mk 56 director (on tower forward of aft twin 3-in RFG mount). Do you have dates for when she did and did not have the Mk 56 director?

By the way, a nice build.
I have no exact information about dates but I know the Mk 56 Gun director on the ship when ship commissioning into Turkish service.

Obviously Mk56 Director should have been in the model, but to be honest, I didn't want to deal with such a tiny scratch build work. Instead of that i made an order for Veteran models resin set and i installed it but unfortunately there is no photo with gun director.

Thank you for good wishes. :smallsmile:

Indeed sir, i like too adding some scratch build parts instead of modelling out of box. I saw your work and she is really impressive model, especially weathering is excellent.

Thank you. :smallsmile:
