1/72 USS Gato Top Gun Deck Railing

1/72 USS Gato Top Gun Deck Railing: High-Resolution Bridge Detail

Finalize the upper superstructure of your WWII fleet submarine with this meticulously crafted 1/72 USS Gato Top Gun Deck Railing. Specifically designed for the "winter garden" and bridge platforms of Gato-class submarines, this component provides the essential safety detailing required for a museum-quality representation of the upper conning tower area.

Unparalleled Detail Meets Naval Accuracy

• Museum-Quality Realism: This model is a high-fidelity replica of the specialized railing systems found on the uppermost gun platforms of US Navy Gato-class submarines. At the 1/72 scale, the fine vertical stanchions and horizontal rails are captured with stunning clarity, ensuring exquisite fidelity to the original naval architecture. These railings were critical for crew safety during anti-aircraft maneuvers on the elevated bridge levels.
• Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, this railing set offers superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material allows for a scale-appropriate thinness that remains structurally sound, providing a far more realistic appearance than thick plastic parts or flat photo-etched metal. This ensures a professional, three-dimensional look for the most visible part of your submarine's profile.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted finish provides the perfect canvas for your artistic vision. You can customize the railing to match the specific "Measure" camouflage of your vessel—such as the standard Measure 32 or 9 patterns—and apply washes to simulate the rust and grime typical of the conning tower's exposed position.

Additional Features

• Accurate 1/72 Scale: Designed for perfect integration with the bridge and conning tower of 1/72 scale Gato-class kits.
• Meticulously Crafted: High-resolution resin captures the industrial, utilitarian look of USN submarine hardware.
• Structural Authenticity: Faithfully replicates the height and spacing of the top-level platform safety guards.
• Superior Quality: Provides the fidelity and surface quality needed for a high-end, museum-grade display.
