20mm Oerlikon drawings

Hi Mirangi,
I have a print of the John Lambert (1986) drawing of various twin 20mm mounts.
They were produced using info direct from the Royal Navy Ordnance Museum, Priddy's Hard, Gosport.
Also shown are details of the individual guns, to 1/24 scale with dimensions of all parts😀.
It is a single A1 sheet, but I can scan it onto four A3 sheets if you wish.
These are the drawings that I used to produce the two twin 20mm mounts for my 1/72 H class destroyer, HMS Hotspur. Like most things in my workshop - not yet completed🤔

I've never heard of a 'Thunderbolt mount' for these guns. Please clarify.
For me a Thunderbolt is a P47 fighter bomber. Carried all sorts of nasties, but never 20mm guns as far as I know.
Cheers, Doug😎
Young at heart 😉 Slightly older in other places.😊 Cheers Doug

Appreciate all your help, great deal of knowledge out there.

Surprised at how difficult to get info on these guns, considering how many have been in service around the world.

We had them on two of the ships I served on in the 1970's but i dont even have any photos of them, fun to fire them though !!!!

I have quite a few photos of the interior of the mount if you need more detail.

I can scan drawings from "Allied Coastal Forces of World War II, Volume 1" which has extensive drawings of Oerlikons. However the drawings do no have dimensions. That said, there is a scale included with the drawings so that you can scale the images.
I'll need your e-mail because they are copy righted and I do not want to post the images.
Please send me a PM if you want to go this route.

20mm Oerlikon drawings

Hi,
Looking to build 4 x 20 mm Oerlikons in 1/24 scale for PT boat Thunderbolt gun system.
Have not had much luck with dimensioned drawings of the Oerlikon guns. Had some success wth the Thunderbolt mounting.
Does anyone have drawings of the 20mm Oerlikon guns.
Interested in any drawings or photos of the Thunderbird mounting as well.
Thanks in advance.
Steve
