Any sources to recommend for upgraded RN AC anti-aircraft defenses? Building the venerable Fujimi HMS Eagle and would like to swap out the vague, kit-supplied AA.

Callen (Cal's scale modelling on facebook) seems to have access to 3D printed 40mm mkV twins for his HMAS Melbourne build. You may want to try and contact him. Distefano makes the sextuple bofors https://distefano3dprint.com/products/1 ... ns-set-x15 . His 40mm twin was different mounting, not used on the carriers. I think the 4.5 inch turrets in the kit are quite decent, they just need to have their gun barrels replaced.
