Does anyone make a 1/700 Mk 997 radar or Mod 1 Mk 8 gun?

[OutcastJoel]

As above really.

I picked up the Trumpeter kit of Montrose to build into St Albans largely because the box art had it in fairly recent fit with a Mod 1 gun. However, on opening the box the gun house included is the earlier curvy job. Whilst I am buying aftermarket, I figure I might as well update the other bits too.

I have found a nice looking Mod gun in 1/350 but not in 1/700.

I can't find a Mk 997 radar at all.

 

Is there anything else obvious I should replace?

Have you had a look at Atlantic Models or Starling Models they might just have what you are looking for

Starling models was actually my first port of call, I have also tried Sovereign hobbies, ebay and Atlantic models.

TBF it might just be an opportunity for me to do some scratch building. 🤔😀

I have had some success:

Big Blue Boy (no I had never heard of them either) do a set of four Mk8 mod 1 guns in resin and brass which is available from BNA model world in Australia.

Orange Hobby do a type 997 in their kit of the HMS Ocean, part numbers A20 and A42/43.

You can get the MK8 MK1 "Kryten" turret in the Dragon HMS York as they have the original gun and the optional later refit version
