Detail sets for Type 23 Frigate

[Faraway]

I’ve just added the 1/350 Trumpeter HMS Montrose to me stash and have been trying to find any detail sets, weapons etc, for it. I’ve ordered the Atlantic Models PE detail set. But I can’t find any weapon sets anywhere, I’m looking for gun barrels or better still 3D printed weapons.
Can anyone help me find them ?

Hi Jon,

 

Atlantic's do a sea captor set that appears to include some boats and the main gun: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/atlantic-models-atac35022-type-23-frigate-sea-ceptor-upgrade-set--1336547

 

Whilst infini (and wem) do a pe set that include some of the other stuff, but you may already have: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/infini-model-im-535018r1-hms-montrose-type-23-detail-up-set--1285233

 

I searched scalemates for 4.5 inch Mark 8 naval gun, I got hits from veteran and Atlantic, but I know there's more out there (ebay search) as I was looking for some for my 1/700 Westminster. So you may want to do searches for the other weapons systems individually if the above don't include what you're after.

David. Thanks for this info. I’ve found the veteran gun set on Starling Models site, so have ordered that. I’m going to pass on the sea Ceptor set for the moment.

As ever with any warship, they change throughout their lives with refits so you need to decide which period of her life to represent.  Without Sea Ceptor, that will put her pre-2014.  The Mk 2 30mm mountings were fitted in her 2009 refit and I think that's when the Kryten turret was fitted though there are some references on the internet showing her fitted with it that are titled earlier so it's sometime between 2005 and 2009.  Not sure when the softkill systems were upgraded - could have been either her 2009 or 2014-17 refits.

 

Hope that helps
