1/240 USN 1.1-inch/75 (28mm) Quad Mount Gun Set (2pcs): The "Chicago Piano"

Enhance the anti-aircraft defense of your classic 1/240 scale US Navy models with the meticulously engineered 1/240 Scale USN 1.1-inch/75 (28mm) Quad Mount Gun Set. Known affectionately by its crews as the "Chicago Piano," this early WWII anti-aircraft system was a crucial bridge between the .50 caliber machine guns and the later 40mm Bofors. At this specialized 1/240 scale—perfect for classic kits like the Revell USS Campbell or USS Buchanan—this two-piece replica set captures the mechanical density and multi-barrel profile of the Navy’s pre-war flak defense with museum-grade precision.

Engineering Precision & Tactical Fidelity

High-Fidelity "Quad-Barrel" Detail: In 1/240 scale, anti-aircraft batteries add critical visual density to a ship's superstructure. This set captures the 1.1-inch quad mount with exquisite fidelity, featuring the accurately rendered four-barrel arrangement, intricate gun mounts, and the complex crew operator positions. Every structural detail is rendered with architectural sharpness, reflecting the heavy engineering of the early Pacific War.

  • Comprehensive 2-Piece Suite: Includes two independent quad mount guns, allowing for a balanced and historically accurate representation of your ship's early-war air defense armament.
  • Perfect for Classic Kits: Specifically tailored for seamless integration with vintage 1/240 scale models, breathing new life and museum-quality detail into classic plastic ship kits.
  • Three-Dimensional Realism: Captures the fine details of the loading mechanisms, creating authentic mechanical depth that elevates your model's decks.
  • Cleverly Hollowed Engineering: Expertly engineered to reduce weight and material usage, ensuring a lightweight addition that is easy to integrate into delicate deck spaces while maintaining absolute structural integrity.

Premium Material: High Detail Resin Grey

To ensure your vessel's defensive batteries showcase the finest technical textures, this set is crafted from professional High Detail Resin Grey.

  • Professional Foundation: Provides an ultra-smooth, non-porous base optimized for high-quality primers and specialized naval camouflage patterns.
  • Superior Quality & Stability: From the workshops of distefan 3d print, ensuring clean surfaces and dimensional integrity for a luxurious, professional-grade finish.

Key Features & Specifications

  • The Definitive Upgrade: Replaces simplified or missing injection-molded kit parts with a sophisticated, historically correct representation of the Navy's infamous quad gun.

A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in its raw resin finish, the 1.1-inch Quad Mount Set serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced fine-scale painting.

  • The "Pre-War" Look: Apply a crisp coat of Standard Navy Gray (#5) or early Measure 1 camouflage, matching the appearance of the fleet at Pearl Harbor. The sharp edges are ideal for subtle dry-brushing to highlight the operator seats and recoil mechanisms.
  • Realistic Weathering: Even at 1/240 scale, details pop with the right technique. Use a fine pin-wash to let dark oils settle into the barrel spacing and mount base, achieving high levels of authenticity and realism.
