A few messages down from this one was the announcement of the new Triumph Sumner class DD in 1/350 scale.Looking at the photos on the twin 5/38 guns there was at the moment I'll call a pipe. Located on top of the turret behind the 2 barrels.
Causing me to go to my references. The kit has 3 of these "pipes" on top of each 5/38 turret. One per turret.My references show that the 2nd forward turret has one on the real ship. DD-692.Others of the Sumner class also received this "pipe". So what is it? A periscope for gunfire assignments? A navigation light? I don't know. So any one have a idea about this? Thanks in Advance.
