Hello there. It's been quite a while since I posted my last thread. Does anyone have any idea what this ship fitting is? I got hold of an old version of the Billing Boats Cutty Sark kit (No. 546). As with many Billing Boats kits you have to source the fittings seperately. This I have done with the exception of one item shown in the image below. Sorry about the quality of the pic. It's a blown up scan of a faint picture in the fittings booklets that came with the kit. The Billing Boats website doesn't list the item in its fittings section or download build manual, and I can see anything that resembles it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
On another note. I've nearly finished my second build (Hachette Bismarck). What a job! Extermly fiddly with some of the smallest brass etching pieces you are ever likely to come across. I managed to cobble together all of the issues from online sales and second hand part builds. Even then some pieces were missing and had to be fashioned out of plastic or wood. But what a beauty!

Some of those PE parts I cannot even see, let alone assemble.
