Not everyday I post here Just wondering what director would be best suited to 4.7" guns in 1928 as well would the pompom director be available then??

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

The 12" Rangefinder from the Radars parts sheet would be the best bet for 1928. I assume you are working on a destroyer, if not the same item doubles as the HA/LA rangefinder too.
There was no pom-pom director then, in fact not many multiple pom-poms themselves! I assume you are wanting to fit quad pom-poms and I think those were locally-sighted aboard destroyers etc. during the early 1930s.

I was thinking the Pompom MkII, just two-four 2-pounders single gun variants

In that case, I'm fairly certain the single pom-poms were directed by eye from the mount.

I've revised the Sea Dart launcher to correct some mistakes and added top and front views at the request of Ace.


These can also be found on the RN Weapons Sheet on page 1.

Huh. I was under the impression that the Sea Dart had a round magazine. Oh well.

The side drawing of the twin 6in/50 (15.2 cm) BL Mark XXII turret is off Jabba's Nelson. The overhead I did for my AU.

Has Jabba posted his HMS Nelson ? Searched but cant find it.

JSB

Jabba never completed it and it has not made it to main archive, here is link to thread

Krakatoa's revised pom-pom and his earlier comments have made me rethink the pom-pom.

I've taken the version he has recently posted. I've amended the current part with a smaller mount (length and height), revised the sight and the barrels and altered the feed layout of the octuple. I couldn't bring myself to adopt the single-pixel barrel, although I've made the 'muzzle' smaller now. The pom-pom was a chucky weapon and I feel the drawing should represent its "character" and help it stand out from the Bofors. Anyhow, I'm open to further comments and ideas.
