1/48 scale very hi detailed and accurate model of WWII IJN 12.7 cm/40 Type 89 naval gun.
This design uses the most rugged 3D-printed materials available for good performance for combat RC models. Stong and Flexible Plastic is very economical when compared to other materials, is completely waterproof, lightweight, and resistant to BB fire. It's detail is softer than other material (surface details will print thicker), it is not easily sandable and requires paints intended for nylon. A "Best Detail" version is available separately.
The 12.7 cm/40 Type 89 naval gun was a Japanese anti-aircraft (AA) gun introduced before World War II. It was the Imperial Japanese Navy's standard heavy AA gun during the war.
The Type 89 was adopted by the IJN on February 6, 1932, and was the primary anti-aircraft gun on new aircraft carriers, battleships and cruisers, most commonly installed in twin gun mounts. As IJN ships were upgraded in the 1930s and 1940s, their older AA guns were often replaced with Type 89 guns.
Ship Class Used On: Almost all Japanese capital ships, battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, Matsu and Tachibana class escorts.
Hollowed to saved material.
Model unpainted

Some part cleanup will be necessary. Water-based acrylic paints meant for plastics is strongly recommended. Other paints, especially enamels, may not cure on Frosted Detail 3D-printed plastics.
