Thanks for the review Dade,... you're right about the availability of these little gems,.... I can't find a single source!

Howdy Frank, and anyone else who may be interested in getting these. HW Japan has them on a back order... it's not perfect, but at least there's hope.

Triples and Doubles
Singles and Doubles

Good luck!

Top notch parts.

Thanks for the review Dade!

Hobby Search has em Singles and doubles only.
Doubles and triples are reserve only .

In order to consolidate these 25mm threads to keep there from being a bunch of subject wander, I'll post some information here that Bob brought up and beat me to posting.

HLJ is also having a restock of the guns:

They also have the shielded triple on pre-order:

Gentlemen, start your credit cards!

Great review Dade. Sorry about the extra post, I got excited when I saw that they were being re-released with an added bonus.


Bob Pink.

Thanx, Dade; a great review, as always. Are there equal-quality IJN anti-aircraft weapons available in 1/350scale? I see none listed on the Fine Molds website, whose URL you so kindly included in the review. Cheers, Stephen

Woops, I thought I was subscribed to this thread, but I guess not as I just now noticed these posts. Sorry for the late response!

Bob, no problem. It was easy enough to just re-post the stuff here.

Stephen, there are some pretty nice 1/350 pieces, but they're in resin by Veteran Models... They make really nice IJN and USN (both WW2 and modern) equipment. A listing can be seen HERE... Just click on each item to see what it looks like.
