The Ship Model Forum

Howdy folks! Right now I'm working on an 1/350 guided missile cruiser. I already have alot of PE parts and a significant amout of scratch work going into it too. I was wondering if any of you know where I can get a small bell, or something close? In real life it would be about a foot and half in diameter. But, again I need it in 350 scale. Is there model train details or something close? Any suggestions would help. Thanks!

In 1/350th scale I use Detail Associates 8203 Bell, roof mount, N scale. I think you get 2 or 4 per pack, and they're really inexpensive. Order mine online from Walthers. They probably are a little over scale, but I think it's better than not having one at all.

You can see it partially on my USS Juneau (this photo is from my write-up in the Features section on this website):



Hope this helps;

Cool, thanks Devin. I think that's pretty much what I'm looking for. Looking at you railings in comparison to the bell, it looks like it'll be just the right size. Now I just have to wait for the order to come in. Thanks again.

Matt,

You're welcome.

I think they're pretty close myself, compared to the bells I've seen on the WWII carriers.
