    Beautiful craftsmanship. Did you make them?

      No, unfortunately such skill is not available to me. I ordered these guns from a master who had already made a gun for my model of the English T-Class boat

        In addition to these two guns with a caliber of 150 mm, two 88 mm guns will be installed on this boat. These guns are ready and are waiting for the hull of the boat to be ready.

          Those 88's are exquisite!

          What scale are you building to?

                  wow, no that does not describe it, WOW, wait WOWSER! That is so beautiful.....
                  If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                    I agree. It'll almost be a shame to paint it....

                      Just my opinion.
                      I owuld not paint the gun because it is a work of art.
                      When anyone ask why I did not paint it, I would respond with, "I have not gotten to it, yet."
                      Of course after a couple of years, I would have to find another excuse why I have not painted the gun.

                      I like it as it is.

                        ...better option: buy 2 and paint one of them!

                          Jeff misspoke there, he should have said, buy 3. Paint one, leave one unpainted, send Tom one. LOL

                              Okay, I will ask....who makes this gun.
                              And are there others available?
