Not that i recollect.

If you want to do it the hard way you could combine bits and pieces from the A.S.P. and Twin Battle Gun Whirlwind

If you're trying to make your own custom, that gun resembles the the large Turret cannons on the Terror Drome.

Or you can scale down a 1/6 Hasbro twin 40mm.

The Hasbro gun is very detailed and well made and every 1/6 guy has one. Not sure about the exact scale seeing as most of the Hasbro stuff is either over scale or under scale.

The closest thing you'll find is the " Twin Firing Combat Cannon" from the Godzilla line by Toy Biz from the 1998 movie. Check it out on Ebay. I have this and they look reasonably close to the pictures you posted. You would need 2 to make the quad. Have fun. Bob

I put a few feelers out a while ago about doing some Bofors guns but there was not a lot of interest. :?

yes i remember......i was one of the ones not interested...lol.

To be honest i just want to make a simple custom. I know yours would be exquisite but i wouldnt feel like paying $100+ for one. I just want to whip up a quick and dirty one.
