Hi gang,

with all the kit of the 40 mm Bofors gun released, I wonder if there are any aftermarket 40mm rounds. No matter if they are resin or turned brass. Need something for my CV 90 models.

Cheers
Hans-Hermann

AFV Club has another set not pictured that has the rounds on the four round clips.

Thanks, but I look especially for empty shells to make my CV 9040 "firing".

Maybe try some evergreen #212 rod, its .080 which is pretty close to the diameter of a 40mm shell casing.

Alternatively, .072 diameter brass rod or 1/16th brass or aluminium tube cut into 9mm lengths might work.
