1/48 DKM Double 20mm C/30 Flak

1/48 DKM Double 20mm C/30 Flak: Formidable Twin-Mount Defense for the Kriegsmarine

Arm your Schnellboot, Räumboat, destroyer, or U-Boot models with the definitive close-range anti-aircraft weapon of the German Navy. The meticulously engineered 1/48 Scale DKM Double 20mm C/30 Flak is designed to provide museum-quality realism for your large-scale Kriegsmarine subjects. As the specialized twin-mount evolution of the C/30 series, this weapon system provided a significant increase in rate of fire and defensive density for vessels and U-Boats facing Allied air superiority. At this substantial 1/48 scale, every mechanical detail of the twin breeches and the rotating pedestal is rendered with the industrial precision required for elite-level displays and high-performance radio control (RC) models.

Engineering Precision & Anti-Aircraft Fidelity

High-Fidelity "Twin-Barrel" Detail: In 1/48 scale, the Double 20mm Flak is a complex "hero" component that defines the anti-aircraft profile of your model. This replica captures the C/30 architecture with exquisite fidelity, featuring the dual long-recoil barrels, the intricate sighting mechanisms, and the heavy-duty rotating platform. Every structural line is rendered with architectural sharpness, reflecting the precision German engineering that made these mounts a mainstay of naval defense.

Historically Accurate WWII Configuration: Meticulously researched to depict the standard twin-mount configuration used across the fleet—including the heavily armed "Flak-U-Boats"—from the early war years through 1945.

• Intricate Twin Breech Assemblies: Captures the hardware of the dual-gun system, including individual recoil cylinders and loading mechanisms.
• Integrated Gun Shielding: Faithfully reproduces the faceted protective plating designed to shield the gun crew from fragmentation and sea spray.
• Rotating Mounting Platform: Detailed with the structural bracing and operator hand-wheels essential for large-scale realism.
• Hollowed Engineering: Expertly designed to optimize material usage—significantly reducing top-side weight to maintain your model's stability—without sacrificing the robust "heavy steel" appearance.

Premium Material: High Detail Resin Grey

To ensure your ship’s anti-aircraft batteries showcase the finest industrial textures, this mount is printed in High Detail Resin Grey, offering the ultimate surface for discerning shipwrights:

• Exceptional Feature Definition: The resin captures minute details—from the twin muzzle apertures to the recessed bolts on the gun shields—with surgical precision.
• Professional Smooth Finish: Provides a non-porous, ultra-smooth base that drastically reduces preparation time, allowing you to move straight to specialized Hellgrau (Light Grey) or Dunkelgrau (Dark Grey) Kriegsmarine palettes.
• Superior Hardness & Stability: Engineered for toughness, protecting the delicate twin barrels and operator seats during assembly or diorama placement.

Key Features & Specifications

• Accurate 1/48 Scale: Precision-scaled for a perfect, historically proportional fit on 1/48 scale German warship and U-Boat models.
• Museum-Grade Detail: Faithfully reproduces the Double C/30 Flak with unparalleled accuracy in the barrels, breeches, and pedestal.
• Unpainted Finish: Provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Recreate the factory-fresh look of a new shipyard delivery or the salt-pitted, heat-faded appearance of a veteran surface raider or submarine.
• Easy Integration: Designed for a seamless, flush fit on the gun tubs, bridge wings, and Wintergarten platforms of various DKM vessels.

A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in its raw grey resin finish, the Double 20mm C/30 serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced detailing:

• The "Grey Wolf" Look: Apply a base of high-quality maritime enamel. The smooth resin surface is ideal for depicting unique wear patterns—from "polished" metal on the training cranks to the heavy salt-crusting and rust-streaks typical of a U-Boat returning from a long Atlantic patrol.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/48 scale is the ideal playground for detailing. Apply light oil-washes to define the mechanical joints and add metallic "scuffing" to the breech blocks to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.

Upgrade your Kriegsmarine fleet with this impressive and historically accurate 20mm C/30 Double Flak.
