1/36 USN 20mm Oerlikon Mk4 w/ Mk14 Sight Kit

1/36 USN 20mm Oerlikon Mk4 w/ Mk14 Sight Kit: Large-Format Air Defense Precision

Equip your large-scale naval build or standalone ordnance display with the meticulously engineered 1/36 Scale USN 20mm Oerlikon Mk4 w/ Mk14 Sight Kit. Serving as the frontline defense against close-in aerial attacks across PT boats, patrol craft, destroyers, and capital ships, the 20mm Oerlikon became even deadlier with the integration of the gyroscopic Mk14 lead-computing gunsight. At this substantial 1/36 scale, this comprehensive kit captures the intricate mechanical linkages, ergonomic gunner controls, and advanced sighting hardware of the legendary anti-aircraft mount with museum-grade clarity.

Engineering Precision & Tactical Fidelity

High-Fidelity "Close-In Weapon" Detail: In 1/36 scale, every mechanical nuance of the weapon station becomes a focal point. This model captures the Mk4 and Mk14 architecture with exquisite fidelity, featuring an accurately scaled barrel with prominent cooling ribs, heavy breech block, detailed gun shield, recoil spring assembly, and the sophisticated gyroscopic Mk14 gunsight with its dedicated mounting bracket and air hose attachments.

• Advanced Sighting Suite: Meticulously engineered to include the iconic Mk14 gyroscopic gunsight, capturing the computing unit, sighting head, and operator alignment bracket with surgical precision.
• Large-Format Mechanical Realism: Every structural line, shoulder rest, cocking lever, and trigger linkage is rendered with architectural sharpness to deliver full three-dimensional realism.
• Substantial Scale Presence: Precision-scaled to 1/36, making it an ideal centerpiece for large-scale PT boat builds, RC patrol craft, or dedicated naval gunner dioramas.
• Hollowed Engineering: Expertly designed to maintain superior structural integrity and crisp exterior detail while optimizing weight and material efficiency.

Premium Material: High Detail Resin Grey

To ensure this large-format naval weapon showcases the sharpest mechanical textures, this kit is crafted from professional High Detail Resin Grey:

• Exceptional Feature Definition: The resin captures razor-sharp edges on the shield, fine knurling on adjustment knobs, and crisp detail on the ventilated barrel jacket.
• Professional Smooth Finish: Provides an ultra-smooth, non-porous base optimized for fine primers, metallic weathering waxes, and specialized naval palettes.
• Superior Stability & Quality: From the workshops of distefan 3d print, ensuring clean surfaces and dimensional integrity for a museum-grade finish.

Key Features & Specifications

• Accurate 1/36 Scale: Perfectly proportioned for large-format 1/36 naval models and standalone museum-style armament displays.
• Museum-Grade Realism: Recreates the rugged, industrial aesthetic of WWII-era American naval technology with absolute technical clarity.
• Unpainted Finish: Arrives unpainted, providing a blank canvas for your artistic vision across any wartime operational theater.
• Complete Tactical Weapon Kit: Combines the standard Mk4 pedestal and cannon assembly with the specialized Mk14 gyro sight upgrade for maximum historical accuracy.

A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in its raw High Detail Resin Grey finish, the 20mm Oerlikon Mk4 w/ Mk14 Sight Kit serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced scale finishing:

• The "Pacific Fleet" Look: Apply a base of Measure 21 (Navy Blue), Measure 31/32 camouflage for PT boats, or standard Haze Gray. The high-relief details are ideal for panel-line washes, defining the shield seams and breech joints.
• Realistic Weathering: The expansive 1/36 scale allows for rich, authentic detailing - from metallic wear and burnished gunmetal along the receiver to subtle heat-tinting at the muzzle and paint chipping on the foot pedals and shoulder rests.
