A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Arriving in its raw resin finish, the 40mm Bofors Twin Mount serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced fine-scale painting and weathering.

• The "Pacific Fleet" Look: Apply a crisp coat of Haze Gray or Ocean Gray to the gun mounts to match Measure 21 or 22 camouflage schemes. The gun barrels can be painted in a dark gunmetal finish, while the gunner seats and platform grating provide excellent opportunities for contrast.
• Realistic Weathering: The huge 1/96 scale is the ideal playground for detailing. Use a fine pin-wash to let dark oils settle into the breech mechanisms and mechanical recesses. Add highly realistic saltwater weathering, light rust streaks on the base, and soot accumulation around the muzzles to achieve the ultimate level of authenticity for a combat-tested warship.
