I am converting a 1/350 aircraft carrier to an early USS Oriskany as my uncle served on the Big O during Korea. In order to complete this project, one of the many changes I need to make is to overhaul the antiaircraft gun complement. The 14 3"50 cal dual mounts will have to come from an aftermarket source, and I also need eight 5"38 cal open single mounts. I'm trying to do this on a budget (I'm cheap, I'll admit it) and I know there are probably more than one or two folks out there who have upgraded one of their 1/350 ships with aftermarket stuff and have the stock kit guns lying around in the spares box. If you have some you could part with, I could sure use them. Appreciate any help you may be able to give me.
