ddp Posted Tuesday at 02:43 PM Share #31 Posted Tuesday at 02:43 PM Aussie, the ship did not get the quad 40mm aa guns til Oct 1942 which is post Midway. as you are supposedly doing the Battle of Midway time period then you need 4 quad 1.1" aa guns, 32 20mm aa guns & no 40mm aa guns. look at the link. http://www.cv6.org/ship/armament.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PvG Aussie Posted Wednesday at 07:22 AM Author Share #32 Posted Wednesday at 07:22 AM (edited) Greetings all. What a day! The 1.1in Quad Gun had these parts and I only had one to make. 😊 (The photo looks like a blob, but I'm sure it will look great when painted.) The parts for the 49 20mm Oerlikans was a little different! (Yes, that is a part immediately to the right of the pin.) I haven't finished as we have mosquitoes bigger than these guns!!! (Build time to date is 125 hours) I'll stop now before I go crazy doing the impossible! These Oerlikan parts are just too small. 🥵 Cheers, Edited Wednesday at 08:55 AM by PvG Aussie Jman8763, ccoyle, Landlubber Mike and 2 others 5 Quote PvG Aussie (Peter) Started modelling Jan 2022.

PvG Aussie Posted 18 hours ago Author Share #33 Posted 18 hours ago (edited) Hi Folks. Not much time today. Only two hours. After spending all day yesterday working of these, I had time to finish one more step with my 49 Oerlikon guns. I added the pedestal and the shield supports. If you didn't believe these pieces are smaller than mosquitos ... Pick the mosquito in the next image! 🤔 And you wonder why I'm going crazy! 🤪 Tomorrow I will hopefully add the shields. (Build time to date is 127 hours) Thanks for the support. (I need it!)
