I for one would like to encourage Harry in his making and selling 350 scale barrels. Trumpeter put out a set which were much more expensive, but then again they also had the smaller guns and propellers in the set. Lionroar has done up a special set for the main guns of the Yamato. That leaves the Bismarck and Iowa class kits open. I'll vote for a set for the Missouri/ New Jersey as I have an NJ waiting in the wings. Maybe he could also do a cheap set for the Bama as well. I know Walnutt productions made these tubes, but they wanted $5 apiece for them meaning a set would run $45, at half the price I'm sure you'll attract some good business.

Hi Steve,

I do not make the barrels or masts. I just sell BMK's barrels and masts here in the USA.

There are several sets for the Missouri/ New Jersey. I have not received them yet, but should have them soon.

I was looking at the BMK web site and they offer a set of barrels for the Missouri with both the 16 inch main guns and the 5 inch guns as well in one set. I am interested in acquiring this set. Do you plan to offer this set? If so do you have an expected availability date.

Regards

Doug

Hi Doug,

As Burkhardt makes new sets he is sending them out to me.
Should be within a week or two.
