Master SM-350-050 Oerlikon 20mm USN type - complete three dimensional gun, turned and etched elements (20pcs)

Master SM-350-050 is a specialized set designed for naval modelers, enabling the construction of a high-quality, three-dimensional model of the Oerlikon 20 mm gun in the United States Navy standard. This product allows for the precise recreation of one of the most recognizable anti-aircraft cannons used on American and allied warships from World War II through the postwar era.

• Scale: 1:350
• User country: United States of America (US Navy), as well as other allied navies
• Service period: World War II, postwar period
• Category: Detail upgrade set for plastic ship models
• Contents: 20 complete sets to build single-barrel Oerlikon 20 mm guns (brass turned barrels, turned bases, photo-etched parts)
• Material: Precisely turned brass (barrels and bases), photo-etched sheet

The Oerlikon 20 mm was one of the most widely used naval anti-aircraft guns during World War II. It formed the basic anti-aircraft armament of virtually every major US Navy ship, including aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers, and other escort vessels. The gun was distinguished by its high rate of fire and simplicity of operation, effectively protecting ships from attacking aircraft, and was also commonly found on allied ships (Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy).

The Master SM-350-050 set offers an unprecedented level of detail and accuracy in recreating this weapon. Thanks to the use of precision-turned brass components and high-quality photo-etched parts, modelers can independently build fully three-dimensional guns of much higher quality than plastic versions. The set includes 20 guns, allowing for complete outfitting of 1:350 scale ship models.

We recommend this product for intermediate and advanced ship modelers who expect above-average realism and want to upgrade their replicas with realistic details. Basic experience with assembling small metal and photo-etched parts is required for use.

Level of assembly difficulty: 3/5 (medium)

Master SM-350-050 is an indispensable addition for all maritime modeling enthusiasts who want to elevate the authenticity and detail of their models to the next level.
