1/96 USS Fletcher 20mm Tubs (Round Bridge) Set (2pcs)

1/96 USS Fletcher 20mm Tubs (Round Bridge) Set (2pcs)

Elevate the historical accuracy of your tin can with the meticulously crafted 1/96 USS Fletcher 20mm Tubs (Round Bridge) Set (2pcs). Specifically designed for the "Round Bridge" variant of the legendary Fletcher-class destroyer, these tubs provided the essential armored shielding for the 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft cannons. This set is a vital upgrade for modelers aiming to capture the mid-war configuration of the US Navy’s most famous destroyer class.

Mid-War Defensive Precision in 1/96 Scale

• Museum-Quality Replication: Positioned on the forward port and starboard superstructure (01 Deck), these tubs were a signature feature of the early and mid-production Fletchers. At the popular 1/96 scale, this set captures the characteristic circular geometry and structural reinforcing ribs with exquisite fidelity. Every detail is rendered with stunning clarity, providing a perfect fit for the forward gun deck of your model.
• Premium Material: Crafted in High Detail Resin Grey, these tubs offer superior precision and a remarkably smooth finish. The resin material allows for a level of architectural sharpness—particularly in the thin vertical walls of the tubs—that traditional plastic or vacuformed parts cannot match. This ensures a professional, high-fidelity look that serves as the defensive heart of your forward superstructure.
• Hollowed for Lightweight Integration: These tubs are expertly hollowed to ensure they remain lightweight for your large-scale model. This intelligent engineering prevents weight-related imbalances on the upper decks of your destroyer while maintaining the structural integrity needed to support resin 20mm Oerlikon mounts and crew figures.
• Unpainted for Customization: The unpainted resin provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. You can apply historically accurate USN camouflage schemes, such as Measure 12, 21, or 22, and detail the interior to reflect a "lived-in" combat vessel. This flexibility allows for the authenticity and realism required for a museum-grade masterpiece.
