You're welcome.

The Flagship Models set

White Ensign lists a 1:350 scale Ticonderoga-class fret as 'Coming Soon'.   Its been that way for a while.   Apparently there has been insufficient demand for such a set to move it up the priority queue.   If you really have your heart set on the WEM set you need to pre-order one (or several) to indicate your desire.   I think the minimum profit point for a WEM PE product is 50 units.

Gold Medal Models makes a 1:350 scale fret for modern USN warships

"This enlarged and upgraded set contains enough material for up to two models. It furnishes railing in several styles including special rails for Arleigh Burke and other classes; vertical and inclined ladders; yardarm footrails for Arleigh Burke and other classes; radars including the SPS-6, SPS-8, SPS-10/SPS-67, SPS-12, SPS-29/SPS-37, SPS-40, SPS-48, and SPS-49 antennas; TDY-1 ECM antenna; two other styles of smaller ECM antennas; D.F. Antennas, Cable Reels, Stokes Litters; Windshield Wipers; Watertight Doors in closed and open positions; Main and Tail Helicopter Rotors for two SH-60 Seahawks, Helicopter Deck Safety Nets for Spruance, Ticonderoga, And Arleigh Burke-class ships, and several lengths of simulated stud-link anchor chains."

I'm not aware of a 1:350 scale etched lattice replacement set.   Making them out of flat PE still results in a flat as opposed to a round shape

Flagship Models also makes a modern USN set.   No pictures/info on that:  the site is blocked from me here at work

Ed thanks a ton I thought someone made one...

1/350 USS Bunker Hill Detail Set?

Hey guys,

Back in the early 90s I did a 1/700 CG 52 for my Commanding Officer...and since we were stationed in Japan, getting a decent kit with a P/E detail set wasn't difficult.  Now I have the Dragon 1/350 scale ship for MY collection, but I can't find any detail sets for radars, masts, etc.  Tom's Modelworks has the railings, but has anyone seen a detail kit for the radars, etc?  Thanks in advance.
