aftermarket USN fireplugs? Or documentation that shows them?

Post by BillThePill123 »

Hi all, I'm a newbie working on Dragon's 1/350 Frank Knox. I'd like to add fire plugs, a detail I've only seen on one build that apparently was based on Chevalier documentation - see photo. I've tried contacting the modeler with no luck.

Are there any aftermarket fireplugs? Were fireplugs standard on Navy ships? (what else would the hoses be attached to?) I can try scratchbuilding, but I can't find a clear photo reference to guide my work.

Any suggestions appreciated - thanks!
