1/250 USN 3-inch/50 Cal. Deck Mount Mk22 Set (4pcs): Dual-Purpose Firepower

Equip your early-to-mid 20th-century US Navy vessels with the meticulously engineered 1/250 Scale USN 3-inch/50 Cal. Deck Mount Mk22 Set. As a ubiquitous dual-purpose weapon utilized from 1915 through the end of WWII, this gun was essential for anti-aircraft and anti-surface defense on a vast array of warships, including the renowned Buckley-class destroyer escorts. At this specialized 1/250 scale, this four-piece replica set captures the mechanical density and classic naval architecture of the Mk22 mount with museum-grade precision.

High-Fidelity "Dual-Purpose" Detail: In 1/250 scale, secondary armaments are vital visual anchors that define a ship's combat readiness. This set captures the 3"/50 caliber gun with exquisite fidelity, featuring the accurately rendered barrel, intricate breech mechanisms, and robust mounting hardware. Every structural line is rendered with architectural sharpness, reflecting the rugged engineering required for fleet defense.

  • Perfect for Revell Kits: Specifically tailored for seamless integration with 1/250 scale models, making it the ultimate upgrade for the classic Revell Buckley Destroyer Escort.

A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in its raw resin finish, the 3-inch/50 Cal. Deck Mount Mk22 Set serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced fine-scale painting:

  • The "Atlantic Escort" Look: Apply a base of Measure 22 camouflage, matching the classic appearance of WWII destroyer escorts. The sharp edges are ideal for subtle dry-brushing to highlight the gun mounts and breech blocks.
  • Realistic Weathering: Even at 1/250 scale, details pop with the right technique. Use a fine pin-wash to let dark oils settle into the mechanical recesses of the mounting base, achieving high levels of authenticity and realism.
