1/144 USN K-Gun Set (4pcs)

1/144 USN K-Gun Set (4pcs): Authentic Anti-Submarine Firepower

Arm your "Greyhounds of the Sea" with the essential sting of the 1/144 Scale USN K-Gun Set. Formally known as the Mark 6 Depth Charge Projector, the "K-Gun" was the primary weapon used by US Navy destroyers, destroyer escorts, and patrol craft to bracket and destroy enemy submarines. This four-piece set provides the mechanical density and historical accuracy required for a museum-grade WWII naval masterpiece.

Engineering Precision & ASW Fidelity

• High-Fidelity Mechanical Detail: At 1/144 scale, the K-Gun is a focal point of deck activity. This model captures the launcher's industrial profile with exquisite fidelity, featuring the accurately rendered expansion chamber, the projector arm, and the heavy mounting base. Every structural line is rendered with architectural sharpness, transforming your depth charge racks and midships deck into a functional, battle-ready anti-submarine station.
• Standard USN Configuration: Specifically modeled to represent the Mark 6 projectors used throughout the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. This set includes four matching launchers, allowing for a complete port and starboard battery typical of Fletcher, Sumner, and Buckley-class vessels. The geometry is historically researched to ensure a seamless and authentic fit for your 1/144 scale project.
• Premium High Detail Resin: Crafted in professional-grade High Detail Resin Grey, these projectors offer a level of surface smoothness and structural clarity that traditional plastic kits cannot replicate. This material is specifically chosen to maintain the crisp detail of the firing mechanism and the reinforcement ribs—features critical at 1/144 scale to achieve a realistic, "heavy steel" appearance.

A Canvas for Naval Artistry

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

• The "Convoy Grey" Look: Apply the standard Haze Grey or Ocean Grey to match the wartime camouflage of your destroyer or escort.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/144 scale is ideal for advanced techniques. Apply subtle metallic dry-brushing to the projector arm, light rust-streaking at the base bolts, and salt-fading on the expansion chamber to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.

Key Features & Specifications

• Accurate 1/144 Scale: Precision-scaled for a perfect fit with 1/144 scale kits (e.g., Revell Fletcher or Trumpeter escorts).
• Comprehensive 4-Piece Set: Provides a full array for standard port/starboard ASW outfitting.
• Hollowed Engineering: Expertly designed to reduce material usage while maintaining the robust look of naval hardware.
• Museum-Grade Detail: Captures individual structural brackets and mechanical fittings with architectural clarity.

The Defining Upgrade for Your Destroyer Build

The 1/144 USN K-Gun Set is more than just a deck fitting; it represents the relentless hunt of the Silent Service’s surface adversaries. Elevate your project with components that reflect the industrial scale and operational reality of the US Navy's anti-submarine warfare.
