I think so, especially since on some vessels the end of the anchor is visible in the hawse pipe and some people display them lowered. [quote="ModelMonkey"]

BB Anchors |

Along time ago, about 25 years, I purchased 1/192 white metal anchors for my scratch built USS Alaska model that I just completed. These were accurate navy anchors of the correct size. I now need two more for the 1/192 Missouri I have just started, but unfortunately I don't remember where I purchased them before and even if they are still available. I'm thinking it was HR Products, but they don't list them as being available. Does anyone know where I might by these or do I have make them myself?
