Ahoy shipmates!
A buddy asked if there are any replacement barrels for the casemate guns on the 'Zona and does anyone make a wood deck? He's got the Banner kit.
Thanks guys.

No wood decks that I'm aware of, closest thing to the casemate guns are both from WEM; their PE set contains the hard covers in brass, and they also sell resin 5"/51 mounts (#PRO 3520)) that can be used, although you'd have to scratchbuild replacement casemates (look under the accessories, professional fittings)

Oh yeah, if you want the 5"/51 mounts and are planning on doing a pre-1941 Arizona you'll need two sets from WEM or to "cover" two of the guns. She had two on the forward edge of the boat deck that were removed during her 1940-41 overhaul to make room for (unfitted before her loss) 1.1" guns.
