1/350 IJN 12.7 cm/40 (5") Type 89 Twin Gun Set (6pcs): Imperial Fleet Air Defense

Fortify the heavy anti-aircraft screens of your Imperial Japanese Navy fleet with the meticulously engineered 1/350 Scale IJN 12.7 cm/40 (5") Type 89 Twin Gun Set. As the standard heavy anti-aircraft weapon used on almost all Japanese capital ships and escorts during WWII, the Type 89 was an essential component of the IJN's defensive doctrine. At this precise 1/350 scale, this 6-piece set captures the complex geometry and mechanical density of Japan's premier dual-purpose gun with museum-grade accuracy.

Engineering Precision & Ballistic Fidelity

In 1/350 scale, the primary dual-purpose batteries are major visual anchors that define the imposing silhouette of battleships, aircraft carriers, and cruisers. This model captures the Type 89 twin mount with exquisite fidelity, featuring the accurately rendered twin barrels, complex breech areas, and the intricate mounting structures. Every line is rendered with architectural sharpness, reflecting the specialized industrial engineering required for the high-intensity air defense of the Pacific Theater.

• Historically Accurate Configuration: Meticulously researched from original naval shipyard specifications to ensure a true-to-life representation for your 1/350 scale Yamato, Akagi, or Takao-class projects.
• Comprehensive 6-Piece Set: Provides six independent twin-gun units, allowing you to uniformly upgrade the secondary batteries across multiple ships or complete a massive singular capital ship project.
• Hollowed Engineering: The expert hollowed design helps preserve material while maintaining visual accuracy and structural integrity, making the components lightweight and easy to integrate on your decks.

Premium Material: High Detail Resin Grey

To ensure your fleet’s defensive batteries showcase the finest technical textures, this 6-piece set is crafted from professional High Detail Resin Grey, offering the ultimate surface for elite shipwrights.

• Exceptional Feature Definition: The resin captures minute details with surgical precision, ensuring that the structural intricacies of the mounts remain crisp at 1/350 scale.
• Professional Smooth Finish: Provides an ultra-smooth, non-porous base optimized for high-quality primers and specialized maritime palettes.
• Superior Quality & Stability: Produced for discerning modelers by Distefan 3D Print, this set ensures clean surfaces and dimensional integrity for a professional-grade finish.

Key Features & Specifications

• Accurate 1/350 Scale: Specifically engineered for perfect, historically proportional integration with standard 1/350 IJN warship models.
• Museum-Grade Realism: Captures the unique industrial aesthetic of WWII-era Japanese naval gunnery with absolute technical clarity.
• Unpainted Finish: Provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision, ready for custom paints and weathering techniques.
• Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for almost all Japanese capital ships and escorts of the WWII era.

A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Arriving in its raw High Detail Resin Grey finish, the Type 89 Twin Gun Set serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced weathering.

• The "Imperial Navy" Look: Apply a base of Kure Naval Gray or Sasebo Gray to establish the historical tone. The high-relief detail is ideal for pin-washes, allowing dark oils to define the structural joints and highlight the mechanical complexity of the twin mounts.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/350 scale is the ideal playground for detailing, allowing you to apply realistic "heat-tinting" to the barrel muzzles and add subtle metallic weathering to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
