28mm scale 20mm Oerlikon AA gun?

[Poiter50]

Anyone make one? I want one for my CoC Chindits.

[Truscott Trotter]

Would a Breda do?

[Poiter50]

Thanks but I need something similar to what the Brit Paras used. Doubt that captured Bredas made it to Burma anyway. 

[Truscott Trotter]

Was thinking add a couple of ammo mags take of Breda sight and replace with Oerlikon sight - job done  
I have not seen one in 28mm - maybe try some Naval guns?
But then you would have to scratch build the carriage and would have no crew to convert

EDIT actually its not that far off according to EW Miniatures


EDIT 2 here is a naval one one 25mm (TT doing anything to avoid starting work on a Monday morning)

Hmm, it appears that it is a Polsten barrel on an Oerlikon carriage, so a conversion of the Breda may suit with some additions.

[Truscott Trotter]

Are your Chindits THAT worried about enemy aircraft?  

EDIT Just noticed CoC not BA so no Oerlikon for you surely?
To be fair I have not seen a CoC Chindits list but a gun without a gun sheild in CoC is very vulnerable

[Poiter50]

Not really, just wanted the options. Having looked at all the lists in the 2014 Summer Special, Engineers may be the way to go and most of the platoons have 4 Squad options plus eother Engineer or Commando Squads.

I thought Wespe Models may have the Breda but I would have to buy a truck as well. OTT, they do have some interesting vehicles in their range.

Now get back to work while I continue to web surf! Ah, retirement.

Probably not what you're after, but Muttonchop (via Empress) have this...

[Poiter50]

Actually it would o for the gun barrel and mag but I might need that Breda for the legs and trunnions.

If you send me some pictures of what you want I'll make it and ask 1st Corps to add it to there range of paras if not I'll make it anyway.
Mark.
