It might be easier to get the DoY set to make the PoW as sunk?
Hi, Admiral John Byng

Yes, very easy. Our POW set included 6 8 barrelled pompom and 8 20mm Oerlikons with gun tubs.
Just you need WEM 4 Barreled pompom for on Y turret.

And, Here are HMS King George V 1941 pics.

But we couldn't develop this Quad because we have not enough references or information as WEM.
Currently WEM's quad is the only solution for the last PoW.

This is my prototype for the early quad pompom. I think I can help you with a reference or two if you really need it? For example, John Lambert's plan L/O/52 and Vickers Photograpic Archive collection of quad-barrelled pompoms? :smallsmile:

Foeth,
Thank you for your information.
To get your idea and help for this quad pompom is no problem.
And these PE and Turned Brass parts is no problem in producing)but only problem is to develop and match Resin parts with other materials.
Our new 8 Barrels PmPom (included at KGV class sets) had hard in developing Resin parts(for Base and Gun body)

But if we start to design the later KGV class ships (based kit Tamiya KGV kit), I am sure we need your help in developing this Quad PomPom.

Thank you
Kim

Maybe you could make it as an accessory? I believe a lot of potential buyers are more interested in the PoW in her "as sunk" fit than any other KGV kit at all, especially the late ones. I have no interest at all in the late fits, but would consider a KGV as she looked when hunting Bismarck, a Duke of York when battling Scharnhorst and a Prince of Wales on her final voyage. The other two ships or late fits of any are far down on my list, and I suppose I'm not alone.

I would have preferred a late war KGV but I will do the others until that set comes along :smallsmile:
I think DoY had several 4 barrelled pom poms in 1944/45.

I think the KGV and DoY period choices will prove to be spot on. The PoW will probably be popular in either guise. My personal choice would be at the time of the hunt for the Bismarck, as I intend to do the Bismarck at the period between the PoW and KGV engagement, with battle damage, when the Pontosmodel set is available.

Well thank you for your interesting our Prince of Wales set.
I think There is no complaint in KGC or DoY and only problem is the final version of PoW without quad PomPom.
When we start to draw the later KGV class ships we will develop this quad Pompom and will release quad pompom only for the last PoW.

Thank you
Kim

Hi Kim, I think those 4 barrelled pom poms will be useful for HMS Belfast too! :cool_2:

Hi.
Are you going to release a set for the KGV as in the Tamiya box or should we just buy the 41 version ?
