Today I'll be mastering the KGV super set; I though I'd post it here first
I'll be offering the 5.25" with a copy of the axle as per the kit parts
There will not be any soldering involved this time; the barrel will be pegged and will locate in holes drilled to suit

The kit parts; they are not bad but need superdetailing for that really special model
Bottom view of the kit parts
My replacement parts before assembly; as you can see; the hard work is already done as the holes will position the barrel perfect in the turret; the axle is the same sizes as the kit parts
assembled and ready to install; just a tiny drop of superglue; compare with the kit barrels and axle
installed; but not glued (not my turret anyways) fits just like the kit part
Menacing to any low flying aircraft for sure; note drilled scale
As you can see; the muzzle is flared and the ring at the end of the primary taper is there too
Get your orders in early; I'm throwing in a special
Axles are just $1.50 each till the end of the month; thats half price
Barrels are same as the Bismarck 10.5cm $3.50 each
Remember the main guns are in the superset; but as some already have my superset I'll make just the 5.25"
Complete set is
10 X $5 main guns
16 X $3.50 5.25"
8 X axles $1.50 till month end
total with shipping till month end = $128
without mains $78

steve, is there a plan on doing the same thing with the bismark barrels to make them no soldering?

Why yes there is
I just took an order from Dave the owner of PrinzEugen.com and i told him he could wait untill the new type comes; there will be pegged barrels and a drilled axle (no more soldering)
He said he'd wait; it will just be a couple more days
Both sets will go fast; get your orders in early
