1/35 USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) Short Double Bitt Set (2pcs)

1/35 USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) Short Double Bitt Set (2pcs)

Complete the specialized deck hardware of your "Garage Destroyer" with the meticulously engineered 1/35 Scale USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) Short Double Bitt Set. Unlike traditional rounded bollards, the deck bitts on an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer are specifically designed with a low radar cross-section (RCS). These units feature a signature faceted profile to deflect radar returns, maintaining the ship's stealth characteristics. At this expansive 1/35 scale, this 2-piece set captures the unique geometry of the flight deck’s low-profile mooring hardware with museum-grade precision.

Engineering Precision & Stealth Fidelity

High-Fidelity "Flight Deck" Detail: In 1/35 scale, the technical nuances of modern naval architecture are fully realized. This set captures the "Short" variant of the double bitt with exquisite fidelity, specifically modeled after the low-profile units found on the aviation deck. Every structural line is rendered with architectural sharpness, reflecting the specialized "stealth" engineering required for the US Navy’s premier surface combatants.

• Mathematically Precise 1/35 Dimensions: Each unit measures 41.66mm (L) x 15.7mm (W) x 13mm (H), faithfully replicating the real-world 57.5" x 21.5" base and 18" height.
• Low Radar Cross-Section (RCS) Profile: Features the historically accurate faceted surfaces and "Short Double Bitt with Lip" design used to reduce the ship's electronic signature.
• Three-Dimensional Realism: Captures the distinct industrial aesthetic of modern mooring hardware, creating realistic shadows and mechanical depth on the aft flight deck.
• Hollowed Engineering: Expertly designed to maintain structural integrity while optimizing material usage for a lightweight yet robust addition to your vessel.

Premium Material: High Detail Resin Grey

To ensure your destroyer’s mooring stations showcase the finest technical textures, this set is crafted from professional High Detail Resin Grey:

• Exceptional Feature Definition: The high-quality resin achieves stunning detail and a smooth finish, perfect for showcasing the precise faceted angles of the stealth profile.
• Professional Foundation: Provides a non-porous, ultra-smooth base optimized for high-quality primers and specialized naval palettes like Haze Gray or Non-Skid Dark Gray.
• Superior Quality: From the workshops of distefan 3d print, ensuring clean surfaces and dimensional integrity for a professional-grade finish.

Key Features & Specifications

• Accurate 1/35 Scale: Specifically engineered for historically proportional integration with large-scale Arleigh Burke-class destroyer projects.
• Aviation Deck Configuration: Designed specifically for the two low-profile positions on the DDG-51 flight deck.
• Unpainted Finish: Arrives unpainted, providing a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Customize with your preferred colors and weathering effects.
• The Definitive Upgrade: Replaces simplified or generic kit parts with a sophisticated, historically correct "Stealth" mooring suite.

A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in its raw High Detail Resin Grey finish, the Short Double Bitt Set serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced weathering:

• The "Forward Deployed" Look: Apply a base of Haze Gray. The high-relief detail is ideal for pin-washes, allowing dark oils to define the faceted edges and the protective lip of the bitt.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/35 scale is the ideal playground for detailing. Apply realistic "rope-scuffing" to the vertical posts and add subtle "rust-streaking" or salt-crusting near the base plates to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
