At the specialized 1/128 scale, these components provide the technical density and mechanical realism required for a museum-grade Kriegsmarine replica.

Engineering Precision & Tactical Fidelity

High-Fidelity Technical Detail: At 1/128 scale, the small-form instruments used for nighttime engagement and anti-aircraft coordination become vital visual anchors. This set captures the nuances of German optical engineering with exquisite fidelity, featuring the distinct shapes of the Target Givers and director pedestals. Every component is sharpened to museum-grade standards, ensuring your model reflects the sophisticated fire control reality of a WWII-era German warship.

Comprehensive 4-Piece Set: This set provides a versatile assortment of mission-critical equipment, including:

• Target Givers: The primary link between the bridge and the heavy batteries.
• Zeilsäule C38 Night Directors: Specialized optics for low-light surface engagements.
• Flak ZAG (Zielausberätungsgerät): Essential coordination units for the ship's anti-aircraft umbrella.
• SCHEINWERFERRICHTGERÄT – Searchlight Director

Premium High Detail Resin Grey: Crafted in professional-grade High Detail Resin Grey, these pieces offer a level of surface smoothness and structural clarity that surpasses traditional plastic or cast-metal parts. This material is specifically chosen to maintain the sharp edges of the optical apertures and the fine textural details of the control wheels—features critical at 1/128 scale to achieve a realistic, organic appearance.

A Canvas for Kriegsmarine Authenticity

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in a professional unpainted finish, these observation units serve as a blank canvas for your historical vision. The resin surface is optimized for high-quality primers and specialized DKM palettes:

• The "Baltic Camouflage" Look: Apply standard Hellgrau (Light Grey) or Dunkelgrau (Dark Grey) to match your ship's specific 1941 or 1942 scheme.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/128 scale is ideal for advanced techniques. Apply subtle metallic wear to the hand-wheels, pin-washes to highlight the technical dials, and light salt-fading to the optics housings to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
