Kim check e-mail, I sent you the drawings and pictures on the battleships of the King George V

[Christian M.]

Looks great!

Question about barrels of Pom Pom: Do you made all with same length?
I ask, because making Warspite (not special editon version!) my barrels from Master and ABER had all the same length, but the outer one are shorter or more inside as inner ones as you know and so I had to drill a deeper hole in plastic, what made it not really easy about correct length and so on.
(and btw mentioned ... why the hack did both manufactures put 20 barrels in 1 set, when 1 Pom Pom has 8 barrels? But this is an other story and OT here, sorry).

Hi Christian, I am sure the barrels will be two different lengths as they are in the Warspite set.
I agree, it looks amazing already! I am really pleased that the PomPoms are pointing in the air and not horizontally as they are in all the plastic versions.

There are pompoms with just a single barrel and four barrels as well.

Ok, the 4 barrels Pom Pom I know (saw on a picture of an British or Australian destroyer in Pacific theatre), but the 1 barrel POm Pom is new for me. Thanks for information.

And, HMS Prince of Wales had a 4-barreled pompom on her Y-turret, not an 8-barreled one. Technically speaking, all barrels are equally long, but half of the guns are placed further aft

You can find images of the single-barreled version at the Vickers photographic archive. This mount was carried by e.g. Flowers, and if I recall correctly, formed the basis for the powered twin 20mm Oerlikon mounting also placed on late-war KGVs.



The quadruple pompom was a lighter version for cruisers and destroyers, based on the mark M octuple mounting.

Hi, Christian M.

Our barrels of Pom Pom are two length. It is easy depth adjustment when you install barrels.

One more, Pre-drilled PE parts allow for easy assembly.
Role of this PE part are drilling position guide and depth stopper.

Thanks

Hello,

great to see this, a smart and great way to make tjhis gun ... much better as in other upgrade sets for Pom Pom. Very good, beside different barrels length, is the part with drilling guide in my opinion. Out of my own experience it is easy to make these necessary holes wrong placed etc., but with this guide it could not happen!

Dear Mr. Park.... Unbelievable work!!



What a clean build..... That's what I call "Master Class".....

[Dave Spencer]

It looks great so far. It is a shame I couldn`t get to Telford to see the D0Y. I can`t wait to see the UP projectors.

Regards, Dave

[Captain pugwash]

The pom poms look more detailed than the Warspite as you had to use the base and not so detailed block for the barrels.

Looking great so far.

[Bill Livingston]

It would be fabulous if we could buy just the pom poms as separate kits...

I have a number of models an upgrade in pom poms would look great on... not least my unbuilt and viortually unopened WEM Hood...

It may even incline me to finish a model... although that's probably going a bit far!

It would probably allow a number of customers a chance to see just how good Pontos Model is as a manufacturer and maybe those customers would then invest in complete kits as and when they are produced...

I am so happy with my Warspite set that I'm looking at what Pontos are doing next and convincing myself I'm interested, rather than choosing a ship first and then seeing what is available...

Christian, mima(swiss), Dave, Captain pugwash and Bill.
Thank you in advance for your support!

The Up projector for early KGV will be supplied from very famous company.
Could we have a little more time?

Here is some pictures of HMS Duke of York 1943

Thanks for the pics Mr. Park! It looks very impressive.
It looks like the 5.25 inch guns have brass parts so they can be elevated.

I'm really looking forward to these sets!

[simon b]

Very tasty

On a minor note, i would prefer the ships boats in resin. I would replace these with those glorious casts from Admiralty. Just a personal opinion though.

Dear Mr Park,
It looks like another stunning set,
have you any plans for the 1/350 Dragon Scharnhorst ?
To have both the Duke of York and Scharnhorst detail sets would be a mouthwatering prospect.

If I'm not mistaken, DML's Scharnhorst got discontinued, so I'm not too sure how much a detail set for that particular kit would make nowadays.

[richtea]

Thank's for that information NGaged,
good job that I got one soon after release then.
Regards
Richard

[Christian M.]

If I had not still enough in my Yard to build in moment, this set + Tamiya kit would be bought directly.
