fingers Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I am battling my way through this kit with the WEM pe set, this set has many gun upgrades but apparently none for the 40mm bofors. I have found a replacement set by Veteran Models (VTW35003) which is for a US Navy set up, would this be applicable to KG5? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is the wrong type for Dave (fingers) they are just what I have been looking for as they fit a post-war RN build I am planning. I'll have a search to see if there is a UK supplier now.

davepb Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I've ordered some direct for my Battle Class conversion of Frog Trafalgar to Matapan. Now to find a Single 4.5" mounting for immediately aft of the funnel, replacing the 4" Starshell gun. I have dropped hints to Peter Hall.

fingers Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 For anyone with a similar problem I managed to get some quad 40mm bofors from L'arsenal who are a French site and do quite a range of ship resin etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
