1/350 USN Single 20mm Oerlikon Mk4 w/ Shield Set (5pcs)

1/350 USN Single 20mm Oerlikon Mk4 w/ Shield Set (5pcs): Close-In Air Defense

Enhance your US Navy fleet models with the meticulously engineered 1/350 Scale USN Single 20mm Oerlikon Mk4 w/ Shield Set. As the primary short-range anti-aircraft weapon throughout World War II, the 20mm Oerlikon cannon stood as the ultimate defense line against incoming dive-bombers and Kamikaze attacks across destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers. At 1/350 scale, this five-piece replica set captures the delicate silhouette, protective splinter shield, and mechanical layout of this vital weapon station with museum-grade precision.

Engineering Precision & Tactical Fidelity

High-Fidelity "Close-In" Detail: In 1/350 scale, standard injection-molded parts often lose the fine proportions of single-barrel weapons. This set captures the 20mm Oerlikon Mk4 with exquisite fidelity, featuring an accurately scaled barrel, breech mechanism, gun shield, and mounting platform. Every line is rendered with architectural sharpness, adding realistic mechanical density to your model's bridge wings, gun galleries, and deck tubs.

Historically Accurate USN Configuration: Meticulously researched to ensure a definitive, true-to-life representation across all major WWII US Navy vessel classes.

• Comprehensive 5-Piece Suite: Provides five complete single 20mm mounts with shields to outfit secondary anti-aircraft positions across your ship.
• Exact Scale Proportions: Faithfully reproduced to 1/350 scale for seamless integration with commercial kits and custom warship assemblies.
• Three-Dimensional Realism: Captures the crisp curve of the gun shield and the distinct mount geometry, creating authentic shadows and depth.
• Hollowed Engineering: Expertly designed to maintain structural integrity while optimizing material usage, ensuring lightweight parts that install cleanly onto delicate deck sponsons.

Premium Material: High Detail Resin

To ensure your vessel’s light anti-aircraft batteries showcase sharp technical textures at fine scale, this set is crafted from professional High Detail Resin:

• Professional Smooth Finish: Available in Grey or White, providing a non-porous, ultra-smooth base optimized for fine primers and naval camouflage palettes.
• Superior Quality & Stability: From the workshops of distefan 3d print, ensuring clean surfaces and dimensional integrity for a museum-quality finish.

Key Features & Specifications

A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in its raw resin finish, the 20mm Oerlikon Mk4 w/ Shield Set serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced fine-scale finishing:

• The "Fleet Camouflage" Look: Apply a base of Measure 21 (Navy Blue), Measure 22 (Haze Gray over Navy Blue), or specialized splinter camouflage. The clean lines allow paint to adhere evenly without obscuring shield or barrel contours.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/350 scale is an ideal canvas for micro-detailing. Use a subtle dark pin-wash around the pedestal base and shield joints to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
