1/96 US Liberty-class Upper Deck Lockers (4pcs): SS Jeremiah O'Brien Edition

Complete the midships detailing of your "Arsenal of Democracy" tribute with the meticulously engineered 1/96 US Liberty-class Upper Deck Lockers Set (4pcs). These specialized storage units, located on the first level of the superstructure, are modeled specifically after the hardware found on the legendary survivor, SS Jeremiah O'Brien. At the expansive 1/96 scale, this four-piece set provides the architectural density and industrial realism required for a museum-grade merchant marine masterpiece.

Engineering Precision & Historical Fidelity

• High-Fidelity Architectural Detail: In the world of 1/96 scale, even the smallest deck fittings contribute to the ship's sense of scale. This set captures the nuances of wartime merchant marine lockers with exquisite fidelity, featuring accurately rendered louvered vents, reinforced door hinges, and the specialized technical latches observed on the Jeremiah O'Brien. Every structural line is rendered with architectural sharpness, transforming the upper deck into a functional, "lived-in" workspace.
• SS Jeremiah O'Brien Specific Configuration: These lockers are designed to replicate the standardized gear storage used by the War Shipping Administration (WSA). On the O'Brien, these units were essential for housing emergency gear, fire-fighting equipment, and deck department tools, matching the industrial silhouette of the ship's current museum configuration.
• Premium High Detail Resin: Crafted in professional-grade resin, these lockers offer a level of surface smoothness and structural clarity that surpasses traditional plastic or wood kit components. This material is specifically chosen to maintain the crisp edges of the louvered slats and the minute detail of the mounting feet—features critical at 1/96 scale to achieve a realistic, "heavy steel" appearance.

A Canvas for Merchant Marine Authenticity

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in a professional unpainted finish, these lockers serve as a blank canvas for your historical vision. The resin surface is optimized for high-quality primers and specialized merchant palettes:

• The "Convoy Grey" Look: Apply the standard Haze Grey or Ocean Grey used during the O'Brien's 1944 voyage to Normandy, or the current museum-standard grey for a modern-day replica.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/96 scale is ideal for advanced techniques. Apply subtle rust-streaking from the door hinges, salt-fading on the top surfaces, and light "scuffing" around the base to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
