Anyone know of any good 1:300, 1:600, or 1:700 aftermarket *open mount* 5"L38s? These would look like "half turret" single barrel 5"L38s like the ones used, for example, on Fletcher class DDs, except that instead of having a full turret they basically have a oversized gun shield that covers the gunners from inbound bullets/shrapnel from the front, and from water from the same direction.

If they don't have it, it probably doesn't exist.

Thank you for the link. Apparently I can get 90% of the way with the 1:700 Niko "Half Shield" single barrel USN 5"L38. Looks like all I need to do is remove the after section of the turret body to get what I need.
