1/20 US PT Boat 37mm Cannon M4: Devastating Close-In Firepower

Enhance your PT boat model with the raw, mechanical power of the 1/20 US PT Boat 37mm Cannon M4. Replicating the formidable automatic cannon that was often field-stripped from P-39 Airacobra fighters and mounted to the decks of "The Hooligan Navy," this highly detailed replica adds a touch of realism and historical accuracy to your large-scale miniature warship.

Exceptional Craftsmanship & Design

  • Museum-Quality Realism: The M4 37mm cannon was a definitive upgrade for PT boats in the Pacific, providing the heavy punch needed to shred Japanese supply barges and coastal targets. At the massive 1/20 scale, every mechanical nuance is captured with exquisite fidelity, from the distinctive long barrel and heavy breech block to the field-modified mounting hardware used to secure it to the deck.
  • Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, this cannon offers superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material allows for a level of structural sharpness and surface detail that standard plastic cannot achieve, ensuring the cooling ribs and rivets are rendered with professional clarity. The hollowed design is intelligently engineered to maintain strength while ensuring the part is easy to mount.
  • Unleash Your Inner Historian: The unpainted finish provides the perfect canvas for your artistic vision. These weapons were often painted in Olive Drab or sea-faring Grey, frequently showing significant wear, grease, and metallic chipping from heavy use in tropical environments. Applying advanced weathering techniques will help you create a truly unique and realistic depiction of this classic PT boat weapon.

Additional Features

  • Accurate 1/20 Scale: Specifically scaled for seamless integration with large-scale PT-109 or PT-596 style boat kits.
  • Intricate Detailing: Faithfully reproduces the aircraft-derived automatic firing mechanism and feed systems.
  • Superior Quality: High-resolution resin provides the clean surfaces and fidelity needed for a high-end, museum-grade display.
  • Versatile Application: Ideal for mid-to-late war ELCO or Higgins PT boat configurations.

The Ideal Addition to Your Collection

This 1/20 US PT Boat 37mm Cannon M4 in High Detail Resin Grey is an essential choice for ship modelers and WWII history buffs alike. It provides the sophisticated, historically accurate touch required to transform a standard build into a high-powered replica of the US Navy’s legendary mosquito fleet.
