1/350 USN 40mm Bofors Quad Mount w/ Shield Set (4pcs)

1/350 USN 40mm Bofors Quad Mount w/ Shield Set (4pcs): Dominant Fleet Air Defense

Equip your naval fleet with devastating anti-aircraft firepower using the meticulously engineered 1/350 Scale USN 40mm Bofors Quad Mount w/ Shield Set. Widely recognized as the premier close-in air defense weapon of WWII, the quad 40mm Bofors mount provided a lethal wall of flak that protected aircraft carriers, battleships, and cruisers from intense aerial assaults and Kamikaze strikes. At 1/350 scale, this four-piece replica set captures the complex mechanical profile and armored shield geometry of the Navy's most iconic AA mount with museum-grade precision.

Engineering Precision & Tactical Fidelity

High-Fidelity "Flak Battery" Detail: In 1/350 scale, standard injection-molded kit parts often lack crispness on complex multi-barrel assemblies. This set captures the quad Bofors with exquisite fidelity, featuring four accurately aligned 40mm barrels, the detailed splinter shield, and the integrated mounting platform. Every line is rendered with architectural sharpness, transforming your ship's gun tubs into mechanically dense, combat-ready positions.

Historically Accurate USN Configuration: Meticulously researched to ensure a definitive, true-to-life representation across major WWII US Navy capital ship classes.

• Comprehensive 4-Piece Suite: Provides four complete quad mounts with shields, offering an immediate upgrade solution for key anti-aircraft sponsons.
• Exact Scale Proportions: Faithfully reproduced to 1/350 scale for seamless integration with commercial kits and custom warship assemblies.
• Three-Dimensional Realism: Captures the crisp facets of the protective splinter shield, creating scale-appropriate shadow relief and depth.
• Hollowed Engineering: Expertly designed to maintain structural integrity while optimizing material usage, ensuring lightweight parts that sit cleanly on elevated gun platforms.

Premium Material: High Detail Resin Grey

To ensure your vessel’s defensive batteries showcase sharp technical textures, this set is crafted from professional High Detail Resin Grey:

• Exceptional Feature Definition: The resin achieves stunning detail and a smooth finish, perfect for showcasing the fine barrel separation, breach mechanisms, and shield riveting.
• Professional Smooth Finish: Provides a non-porous, ultra-smooth base optimized for fine primers and specialized US Navy camouflage palettes.
• Superior Quality & Stability: From the workshops of distefan 3d print, ensuring clean surfaces and dimensional integrity for a museum-quality finish.

Key Features & Specifications

• Accurate 1/350 Scale: Precision-engineered for perfect, historically proportional integration with standard 1/350 scale US Navy ship models.
• Museum-Grade Realism: Captures the authentic industrial aesthetic of WWII American naval technology with absolute technical clarity.

A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in its raw resin finish, the 40mm Bofors Quad Mount Set serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced fine-scale finishing:

• The "Fleet Defense" Look: Apply a base of Measure 21 (Navy Blue), Measure 22 (Haze Gray), or complex graded camouflage patterns. The sharp contours allow washes to flow naturally around the gun base and shield corners.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/350 scale provides great depth for micro-detailing. Use a subtle dark pin-wash to accentuate barrel linkages and add light dry-brushing to the shield edges to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
