1/72 DKM Observation Set (4pcs): Precision Fire Control for the Kriegsmarine

Enhance the tactical realism of your German naval models with the meticulously crafted 1/72 Scale DKM Observation Set. This four-piece collection replicates the sophisticated optical and fire control hardware that allowed Kriegsmarine warships to engage targets with deadly precision. At the popular 1/72 scale, these components provide the essential technical detail required for high-end surface combatant models, S-Boats, or coastal battery dioramas.

Engineering Precision & Tactical Fidelity

High-Fidelity Replication: Fire control was the "brain" of the warship, and this set captures the complex mechanical aesthetics of WWII German optics with exquisite fidelity. Each piece is rendered with the architectural sharpness required to satisfy museum-grade collectors and competition modelers alike.

The Set Includes:

• Target Giver (Zielgeber): The primary station for identifying and tracking surface targets.
• Zeilsaule C38 Night Director: A specialized optic designed for the low-light engagements common in the English Channel and North Sea.
• Flak ZAG (Zielanweisungsgerät): Essential equipment for directing anti-aircraft fire against Allied bombers and torpedo planes.

Premium High Detail Resin: Crafted in professional-grade High Detail Resin (Grey/White), these components offer a level of surface smoothness and detail retention that surpasses traditional plastic kits. The material is specifically chosen to hold the sharp edges of the lens housings, adjustment wheels, and pedestal mounts—details that are critical at 1/72 scale for a realistic appearance.

A Canvas for Naval Authenticity

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in a professional unpainted finish, this set serves as a blank canvas for your historical vision. The resin surface is optimized for high-quality primers and specialized Kriegsmarine palettes:

• Standard Schemes: Apply the classic Dunkelgrau (Dark Grey) for mid-war subjects or the lighter Hellgrau used on Atlantic-based destroyers and cruisers.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/72 scale is ideal for applying subtle pin-washes to highlight mechanical joints or adding tiny "glass" effects to the lenses using gloss clears to achieve total authenticity and realism.
