Hey all
Hoping some one can point me in the right direction. Does anyone know a source for a 1/350 scale 5"/25 wet mount submarine deck gun? I have struck out so far
Thanks
Dave

Hi David,
You can try Flyhawk, Veteran Model or L'Arsenal.
I don't know if Tom's Model Works is up and running on the
WEM product take over but try them too...great service.
Cheers,
Joe

Thanks for the suggestions. There are some 5"/25 open mounts but not wet mounts for a submarine. Not sure what to do as I don't think I'll be able to scratchbuild one
Thanks again

Hi David,
What happened to the original kit gun?
Maybe you can get one of the AM open mounts and modify it.
Here is a document to help you along....very informative.

The kit deck gun is a bad white metal 3" for a 1942 Gato. I have a L'Arsenal 4" which I might be able to convert but I'm not sure
Thanks for the document. Will help regardless of what path I follow
