Title: Cap Maquettes Fittings.
Post by: dodes on May 08, 2021, 01:53:03 pm

I was fortunate the other day to be given a relative good condition model of the Surcoff. I noticed one off the 20mm cannons was missing, i thought never mind should source one, the up side was i could only find a site in France, the gun was 4euros but but Vat and postage amounted to 15euros and I had to spend a minimum of 19.5 euros, needless to say it was no thank you.

Very similar, thank you but on the Macate site it is describe as "20mm cannon Surcoff". Its barrel is not in line with the rest of the gun stock it has a 20/30degree angle to it, if CMB can get it I would be much appreciated as I do get quite abit from there on the quite. I must admit I was quite impressed with their crisp mouldings.

Could you post a link to the one you found on cap website? Or a part number? They seem to be the one matching the description from both websites, unless they changed it or some assembly required?
