For all of you fans of 1/200 big ships there is a polish manufacturer, a paper model specialist called GPM, that manufactures really incredible photo etch with barrels small jewels of 20mm single and double oerlikons, double and quadruple 40mm bofors, 20mm german single, 4x20mm vierlings, 37mm germans, 4x and 8x pom poms, and 25mm IJN singes, doubles and triples. And the prices are really good, I don't know if there is a US retailer who has them but you can order directlly.
You can find them here:

Information on these sets appears to be scarce. Are you or anyone else aware of a review, build up, build thread or other source showing what these sets look like in finished form?

There is a review of the GPM's IJN 25mm AA guns http://www.steelnavy.com/GPM25mm.htm but there's again, nothing I've found to show what they look like once completed. They offer a sizable amount of detail sets in 1/200 (railings, ladders, radars, etc.) and weapons as you indicate for several IJN and other obscure vessels and Russian destroyers to name a few. If I use them, I'll be certain to share some photos and documentation.

Hi, thanks for the reply and photo. They look very good in raw form... and I was mistaken; the review link in my previous post does show what the AA guns look like when finished and painted.

Aside from that, I've not seen a wealth of info about them nor seen them widely utilized.

Did you order your PE set directly from GPM in Poland? If so, what was the delivery time like and your overall satisfaction?

Hi
I did order them from GPM and I only waited a week. I have ordered from them in the past and it took about the same time to reach my door. The service from GPM is very good.
