David M Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Special Hobby's Vesikko box art shows her in splinter camouflage and with a deck gun. The instructions make no mention of the latter so: 1. Did she have one? 2. If so...what was it and 3. Does anyone make one in 1/72?

vaoinas Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 These photos show Vesikko painted in a splinter camo and a deck gun. According to Wiki, Vesikko was armed with a 20mm Madsen AA gun Kristjan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Thanks Kristjan for your prompt response. I contacted Special Hobby and received the following: thank you for contacting us. The gun on the deck is retractable and the artist decided to pain the u-boot with the gun out. But it would have been too difficult to actually make it that way, so we made the kit with the gun in. Unfortunately we don't sell the gun separately. So...the question is now: does anyone make (or have drawings for) a 20mm Madsen AA gun? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gidday David, if I have a question like this I Google and simply type "20mm madsen aa gun" or similar, then click on "Images". There appears to be at least one I found that looks like it's mounted on a submarine. Apologies if I've stated the obvious but I've found this to be easy and useful. HTH. Regards, Jeff.
