1/96 US Liberty-class Bridge Deck Lockers Set (4pcs)

1/96 US Liberty-class Bridge Deck Lockers (4pcs): SS Jeremiah O'Brien Edition

Complete your tribute to one of the last "living" Liberty ships with the meticulously engineered 1/96 Scale Bridge Deck Lockers Set. Specifically modeled to reflect the equipment layout found on legendary survivors like the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, these lockers were the essential storage hubs for the merchant mariners and Armed Guard members who navigated the treacherous waters of the Atlantic and Pacific. At the expansive 1/96 scale, this four-piece set provides the architectural density and industrial realism required for a museum-grade merchant marine replica.

Engineering Precision & Historical Fidelity

• High-Fidelity Architectural Detail: In the world of 1/96 scale, every deck fitting contributes to the ship's story. This set captures the nuances of wartime merchant marine lockers with exquisite fidelity, featuring accurately rendered louvered vents, reinforced door hinges, and the specialized technical latches seen on the Jeremiah O'Brien. Every structural line is rendered with architectural sharpness, transforming a flat deck into a "lived-in," functional workspace.
• SS Jeremiah O'Brien Specific Configuration: These lockers are designed to replicate the standardized gear storage used by the War Shipping Administration (WSA). Whether used for signal flags on the bridge wings or foul-weather gear aft of the wheelhouse, these units match the industrial silhouette of the O'Brien's current museum configuration, ensuring a seamless and authentic fit for your large-scale build.
• Premium High Detail Resin Grey: Crafted in professional-grade resin, these lockers offer a level of surface smoothness and structural clarity that surpasses traditional plastic or wood kit components. This material is specifically chosen to maintain the crisp edges of the louvered slats and the minute detail of the mounting feet—features critical at 1/96 scale to achieve a realistic, "heavy steel" appearance.

A Canvas for Merchant Marine Authenticity

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

• The "Convoy Grey" Look: Apply the standard Haze Grey or Ocean Grey used during the O'Brien's 1944 voyage to Normandy, or the current museum-standard grey for a modern-day replica.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/96 scale is ideal for advanced techniques. Apply subtle rust-streaking from the door hinges, salt-fading on the top surfaces, and light "scuffing" around the base to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
