US$14 to ship 2 plastic cannon from UK to US? The 2 models cost US$5, but shipping is US$14. Shouldn't cost that much shipping for 2 plastic cannon in 15mm. I get metals shipped from the UK for less.

We've recently released the gun from SMS Konigsberg.

Once the ship was destroyed, the ten 4.1" guns from SMS Konigsberg were removed and converted to field guns for use in the campaign in East Africa.

Some of the guns were used in fixed positions on swivel mounts, and some were mounted on specially-made carriages to be mobile. The gun barrels themselves came from two locations on the Konigsberg. Those from armored turrets have a small flange on the barrel where the shield mounted. Consequently, we offer two options:

Fixed mounting with a gun barrel without a flange
Mobile gun on a carriage with a flange on the barrel

12mm from £1.10 GBP
15mm from £1.65 GBP
20mm from £2.50 GBP
28mm from £4.00 GBP

The models are available in most scales.

Everything is 3Dprinted to order.
