I have not visited this board in awhile, and I just ran into this January post. Long overdo, but to answer your questions, the pictures of the Balaos on the listings are not in built states. My parts are designed so you can have a larger assortment option between fairwaters,yards and time frames, for a more accurate depiction of your targeted boat. The towers are heavily detailed, but I can't appease everyone's tastes. Once you get the conversion parts, how you build it and covert revell sub is going to depend on your modeling abilities, and I have no control on that end.
I have been doing this for many years now, including many and ongoing conversions, and as most of my clients know, I offer full support if they request it or need it on any of the parts and the build from start to finish.
The sets have evolved over the years, new tooling and new additions are constantly ongoing. The original molds have long been gone and many new more complex molds , sets have also increased dramatically in part quality. Sets are taking and longer to prepare which is cutting into my own modeling time.
The website photos of the sets that are arranged with labeled bags are actual sets that were shipped to clients. The tower themselves are de-flashed for you and are ready to build up including many of the main large parts. 5" Deck guns also come semi pre-assembled so you can get the full rotation on the guns, and eases construction for the modeler. My sets are more then just a tower. I am the one that has to clear every part before its shipped. If I miss a part or its not liked I will correct it. Other then that gentlemen, I don't know what I can do for you ,best of luck . Mario
