Just as the thread title says, Is there any of the following:

.......as an aftermarket accessory in 1/700 or 1/350 scale? I'd like to have several guns for a planned What If battleship in the future.
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

You might post a query on the navweaps forum.  I did a quick Google for 1/700 Mk 71 gun, and turned up a couple of threads that talked about scratching that very gun, but no pictures or explanation of how they did it.
