Embark on a journey into naval history with our meticulously crafted 1/72 IJN 12.7cm/40 (5") Type 89 Naval Twin Mount model—an exquisite representation of the WWII Japanese anti-aircraft (AA) gun.

Imperial Japanese Navy's Standard Heavy AA Gun

The IJN 12.7cm/40 Type 89 naval gun, introduced before World War II, stands as a testament to Japanese engineering excellence. Adopted by the Imperial Japanese Navy on February 6, 1932, it became the primary heavy AA gun during the war. Our 1/72 scale model faithfully captures the essence of this historical artifact, unshielded for an authentic representation.

Versatile Deployment Across IJN Fleet

This naval twin mount was a stalwart on almost all Japanese capital ships, battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, and the Matsu and Tachibana class escorts. As the IJN modernized its fleet in the 1930s and 1940s, older AA guns were replaced with the advanced Type 89, solidifying its place in naval history.
