Hi guys! a short build log of one of the AA guns:


parts cut


rolled & fold


main barrels added (toothpick is to set barrels parallel as glue sets)


4 (are these recoil cylinders?) added

elevation gear added underneath

 

pic makes the parts look copper. maybe its the dirty mat ;)


adjustments needed

side parts and loaders installed


complete 

Thanks for viewing my post! -Tim

Hi bsyamto!

 

Yeah, I wonder sometimes if the extra work is worth the time doing the PE versions. Maybe what I'll do is make one each of the kit version of the gun and a Voyager Models version that I have on hand as well ... and see

Just checked out the 40mm AA gun, that thing is really tiny and complex!

Yes the 4 cylinders would be recoil devices. thinking these are hydrolic as the Swedish  Bofors uses external springs around the barrels. 

That being said which Nationality is the new ship?

I'd say that the PE is worth the effort! Those AA guns definately look better than the plastic versions!
