DougRichards Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 There are some after market sets around. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/1131547-veteran-models-vtww35004-5-38-mk-32-dual-guns-mount-blast-bag-included https://www.scalemates.com/kits/267542-veteran-models-vtw35003-40mm-quad-bofors-gun-mount-mk-2 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/956373-veteran-models-vtm70001-us-naval-mk-22-3-50-twin-open-mount-with-mk-56-3-gun-director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a build I am doing. Thanks in advance. You have me very intrigued - every vessel I can think of had either quad 40mm or twin 3inch 50 - not both. Also it was not clear if you meant the single or twin 5"/38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Werb Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If you mean CL-119, I'm pretty sure it had its quad 40s and associated FCS replaced by twin 3"/50s and would not have had both on it simultaneously. That was a nice catch though Doug - I didn't realise any of the 5" anti aircraft cruisers had served significantly post war, let alone been re-armed. Juneau was unique in that respect. i wonder why they bothered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Werb Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Of course, John could be making before and after models of the same vessel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Ford Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Four (4) Single 5" 38 open mounts are what I am looking for. I would like the 3" 50 twin mount but 40MM quad is also workable for what I am trying. Have two tubs I am looking to fill. Either would work. That is for a 1/350 Essex Class. Also doing a build on a 1/350 Scale CB3 USS Hawaii. Would like to replace the Quad 40MM with 3" 50 Twin but having a hard time finding the 3" twin mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going for the proposed command ship conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
