    I know how to get ahold of them... but I'm not sure they want their email posted. What do you want them for? (sound very cryptic, don't I?)

    (Not being a jerk, just protecting their email addy's from predators :)

    The tubs and cannon mounts are cast resin. There is a gentleman in California that sells all kinds of gun mounts for american ships. Did you notice the rangefinders with the radar? His name is George McManus . I outfitted the entire ship all the 20mm all the 40mm the searchlights, and the radar rangefinders for $77.00 I had already bought the 6- 5" mounts from BC only to find that George makes a nicer mount and less expensive. He is now working to manufacture the 5.9" for German Capital ships. Two different style 8.8 and 105mm AA Cannons , the 37mm aa and the 20mm all for German ships. His quality is excellent

    Well Buddy you did a remarkabale job in building the hull. But if I cant get the correct turret covers What good is it. It just sits on a shelf and I can look at it.

    Why not just make the proper turret covers? It shouldnt be that hard to make a simple plug and mold for them.
