I have both the main, secondary guns and replacement stacks coming for my 1/350 Suvorov.
You receive very high quality merchandise from Burkhardt!

Harry,

Where the secondary gun barrels and the replacement stacks also from Burkhardt? I didn't see those on his website when I ordered the main battery barrels.

Have to agree, his stuff is quite nice. The secondary gun barrels on my Illinois build are from Burkhardt - they are his 5.9 barrels cut down to size for my needs.

Hi Martin,

Yes, they are all from Burkhardt.
I do not think they are in his catalog yet.
Send him a note.

He did the 5"/51 barrels for my 1/700- 1936 USCG Cutter Campbell. Very Nice workmanship

Ah, good to know I haven't gone completely daft (yet).

Thanks, Harry.

Glad to have another good player in the 350 market....especially with gun barrels...it tends to drive the price down a bit.
