naval guns
Posted by kab37 on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 9:49 AM

I'm looking for some ready made naval guns in 1/72 scale. My arthritic fingers aren't working with photo-etch. Scratch building doesn't seem to be an option. Any ideas ?

Thats a huge category, obviously.

There's quite a bit available for kits in that scale, which would be be arange of stuff from patrol boats, a few submarines, and on up to the Matchbox/ Revell Corvette.

3D printing has really opened this up.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Some of the larger artillery pieces would be a good basis for conversion.

Is that the 1:72 scale corvette?  I had found plans online for that gun, and was going to scratchbuild it, but if a reasonably priced aftermarket gun is available I'll save myself the trouble.  Who is the vendor?

Don, actually it's for the old Glencoe subchaser. Scale is slightly off but I don't think that will matter.

That'd be a 3" 23 caliber.

These guys can probably help:

Note, their site uses a slightly annoying pop-up to show their wares.

I was going to recommend Floating Drydock, but they state they are not carrying H&R anymore.
