1/128 DKM Searchlight Director (8pcs)

1/128 DKM Searchlight Director (8pcs): Kriegsmarine Night Combat Precision

Bring technical depth to the superstructure of your German warships with the meticulously engineered 1/128 Scale DKM Searchlight Directors (Scheinwerferrichtgerät). These specialized instruments were vital for coordinating the massive searchlight batteries during night actions, allowing the Kriegsmarine to illuminate targets for their heavy guns and anti-aircraft batteries. At the specialized 1/128 scale, this 8-piece set provides the industrial texture and mechanical realism required for a museum-grade naval replica.

Engineering Precision & Tactical Fidelity

• High-Fidelity Technical Detail: At 1/128 scale, the small-form equipment used for fire control and coordination becomes a focal point for the viewer. This set captures the nuances of the Scheinwerferrichtgerät with exquisite fidelity, featuring the accurately rendered pedestal base, the optical sighting housing, and the delicate control hand-wheels. Every structural line is sharpened to museum-grade standards, ensuring your model reflects the technical sophistication of a WWII German warship.
• Comprehensive 8-Piece Set: This set includes eight individual searchlight directors, providing an ample supply to outfit the bridge wings, searchlight platforms, and secondary control stations of major combatants like the Bismarck, Tirpitz, or the Admiral Hipper-class cruisers. This ensures a uniform and historically accurate appearance across your 1/128 scale fleet.
• Premium High Detail Resin Grey: Crafted in professional-grade High Detail Resin Grey, these directors offer a level of surface smoothness and structural clarity that surpasses traditional plastic or cast-metal parts. This material is specifically chosen to maintain the sharp edges of the sighting optics and the fine textural details of the mounting hardware—features critical at 1/128 scale to achieve a realistic, organic appearance.

A Canvas for Kriegsmarine Authenticity

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

• The "Atlantic Grey" Look: Apply standard Hellgrau (50) or Dunkelgrau (51) to match your ship's specific camouflage scheme and theater of operation.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/128 scale is ideal for advanced techniques. Apply subtle metallic wear to the hand-wheels, dark pin-washes to highlight the mechanical joints, and light salt-fading to the optics housings to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
