The 1/2400th models from Stonewall have cast on gun barrels (like 1/3000th) but the Viking Forger/C in C/GHQ feature them seperately. All the pre-dreadnoughts I have to tackle (16 in total) are from Viking Forge and I reckon of the three manufacturers named they are the least detailed. They are very nice models though, al the same and knock 1/3000th into a cocked hat - with the possible exception of the WTG range.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-89563326014423654582013-03-29T10:08:03.512+00:002013-03-29T10:08:03.512+00:00Those 1/2400 ships are cool

Seriously though, as far as I have been able to see it was going to be a brace of 10" guns.<br /><br />A pair of turrets with two 9.4" in each seems like a good fit.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-21673048771623574922013-03-28T15:00:10.347+00:002013-03-28T15:00:10.347+00:00David

The original went to Santiago without her 10" guns because the Armada rejected them (or was too broke to pay for them). I'm also unsure of what guns she was supposed to mount - I've seen specs with the 2 single 10" turrets and other specs with a single 10" and a twin 8"turret.<br /><br />I like your solution to the armament problem.<br /><br />FYI the lower picture appears to have currents if not currants!<br /><br />Cheers<br />PDPeter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.com
