Do we have somewhere the Bofors 40mm/L70 Type 520R mount? I remember seen it in old archives. Some links https://www.seaforces.org/marint/German ... -class.htm http://cmano-db.com/images/DB3000/ship_201.jpg |

non of those links work! You are probably looking for BAE Bofors 40mm Mk4 but with a different turret (similar design turret as Oto Melara 76mm SP) You can find it on shipbucket wiki: ![[ img ]](http://shipbucket.com/wiki/images/a/a0/Belowdeck_guns.png) Swedish parts sheet, there is an Bofors L70mm/70 the turret Norway use: https://i.imgur.com/91ZO8Xc.png British 40mm/70 https://i.imgur.com/nSccJMO.png The German 40mm Flak 28 (Bofors) is on this sheet: https://i.imgur.com/zYUWIxP.png The old uber-part-sheet!: https://i.imgur.com/J31zhoz.png |

Fixed the links. The Type 520R mount is Italian and appeared in late 1980's (or probably mid 1980's). The Bae Mk4 is much newer. |

I haven't seen any ships with that turret. It's most likely a Oto Melara 40mm/70 (either the fast forty or twin compact) but with a new turret and electronics. those two turret is in the part sheet above, you can take them and draw the new turret on to them. |

yhe L/70 onboard Finnish ships had fiberglass mountings made domestically, and thus are not the same ones as other navies, using the same gun. I have drawn some of them during my long career, but I cant recall if the ones shown here on Hämeenmaa are the latest version. |

I think that the glass is bit different on the Finnish version, the other side is very close to the baseline Italian version, so it works fine for me. |

maybe
The mounts in the drawing seem to indicate the presence of rocket flare racks. Has such an option been available and/or taken up by any Bofors 40mm user, particular for mountings that do not require deck penetration?
