Hi,

I'm just starting to build Victory's Pegasus and I'm not happy with the quality of the supplied cannons.  The cannons are 6pdrs with a length of about 32mm. Any suggestions please as to replacements.

Thanks

Richard

Richard,

 

Check out Chuck’s offerings in the Syren Ship Model shop:

Also, Chris Watton is developing some for his Vanguard Models range, though I don’t think they are ready for sale/distribution just yet.

Hi Grant,

 

Yes, Chuck has cannons that are close to the size I'd like, so I may well go with those. Chris is developing a set of cannons, but his smallest is 9pdr, not the 6pdr that Pegasus has.

 

Cheers

Richard

Ok, extreme slackness on my part. I hadn't bothered to read the detail on Chuck's website, where it specifically says "These cannon also fit the Amati Victory models Pegasus and Fly kits very well."

 

So, I'm about to order some, that's if Chuck is shipping to Australia.

 

Edit. Ordered.

Good news Richard - just be prepared for shipping to take around 6 - 8 weeks instead of the usual 2 weeks. It will get here - eventually.
