A pintle is a pivot mount like a pin that the item can rotate on.

I haven't found any clear photos that show the antenna in that spot, but I have seen small pins sticking up from the edge of the bulwark in and near the area circled, maybe 5" to 10" high.

Thank you for your kind comments!

This evening I did the smallest of the 4 boats:

I also made one of the Radar Yagi Antennae:

Only I'm confused as where it is supposed to go. According to the instructions, it should be 'mounted on a plastic rod pintles' (no idea what a pintles is…) and 'fit into the curved extensions to the rear of the bridge above the forward AA deck'. I think that's where I drew the red circle in the image below. Am I correct?

Indeed, I'd like to see some more of her too! :big_grin: Weathering looks spot on to me, I like a realistic ship.

Almost finished! Build went rather well although I had some troubles with the paint. I overdid the weathering a little bit in some areas. I used the WEM photo etch set.
