LF: British WW2 8" gun barrels 1/350

[Old Wombat]

Hi guys!

I'm looking for (preferrably) metal WW2-era RN 8" gun barrels to modify my 1945 Prinz Eugen into a post-WW2 RAN warship.

Just a lead as to where I might find some would be good, as I've had no luck to date.

50 calibre BL 8 inch gun Mark VIII?

I don't think the aftermarket boys will do them as there are no 8 inch British Cruiser kits in 1/350th

Iron Shipwrights do the HMS Exeter, so you could contact them about the turrets and guns in resin ?

So, it's long overdue for a mainstream styrene kit manufacturer to put out a few County class cruisers, then!

I may just settle for using the kit barrels & try to find some decent drawings of the British guns that I can scale down & use as a template for modifying them.
