3" & 5" Guns & Mounts
Posted by MackP on Saturday, August 28, 2004 12:48 PM
Is there a source for metal or plastic 3"/50 guns (single and dual) and 5"/38 gun mounts for a Sumner class destroyer in 192 scale? I'm trying repair and update a 30+ year old model. Does anyone produce a Sumner or Gearing class DD, circa 1950s (tripod mast and before Fram) in any scale?

In 1/192 scale (16 feet to the inch), you can get 5in./38s and 3in. 50s from Floating drydock, from a number of manufacturers, John Haynes, HR, etc.

Yankee Modelworks does a DDR Gearing in 1/350, the Dennis J. Buckley, which represents most of the DDR, pre-FRAM vessels.

If you don't have any luck with the 5in guns, I have a brass pattern I can loan you so you can cast your own.

I also have some additional parts, torpedo tubes, anchors, bitts and bollards, I can provide at a low cost.
