GPM has barrels for the 1:400 scale JSC YAMATO, but only generic photoetch railings for 1:400 scale models. See here: http://gpm.pl/eng/index.php?akcja=kategorie&poziom=2&kat=7

The GPM SHIKISHIMA is marvelous! I have the photoetch and metal barrels, too. I am modifying her to her state at Tsushima and repainting her in gray.

Here is the overhead shot of REPULSE on 10 Dec 1941---she is at the bottom of the frame, just straddled by bombs---note the dark anchor deck:

I've been building paper ship models since I knew John Hathaway in the mid-'60's!

I have been longing for an excellent model of the QUEEN MARY battlecruiser for ages. I was looking at the hull of a new resin model of the ship in 1:350 scale and was dismayed to see how thick the screens were on the model. The tall metal screens at the bases of the funnels were about a scale...

Brilliant job, Joseph! You achieved the same effect as using an expensive resin hull from GPM! Looks fit for a museum.
