Previous Message

Hello All,

I am getting ready to start my Trumpeter 1:350 scale HMS York kit. I am a bit confused about the 20mm Oerlikons that were fitted on her at the time of her loss in 1941. Friedman's book on British cruisers states on page 109 that the only wartime armament improvement was fitting single Oerlikons on top of B and Y turrets. However, the Eduard photoetch set has brass overlays for the kit turrets with spots for 2 20mm Oerlikons on top of B turret and none on Y turret. A very grainy photo of York at Suda Bay appears to show something on top of B turret and nothing on Y turret.

My question is which one is correct, Friedman or the Eduard PE?

Any help would be appreciated.
