About product

Darne Lewis machine guns with half heat sinks 1:48 (GasPatch, 2 pieces)

A resin set of two finely cast French aircraft Lewis machine guns in the version with half heat sinks, in 1:48 scale. It is not an aircraft model but a detail accessory for its armament. In aircraft use the cooling jacket of the Lewis was often shortened, because the airflow in flight cooled the weapon sufficiently; the version with half heat sinks reproduces this modification faithfully. The fine resin casting captures the structure of the fins, the pan magazine and the body of the weapon far better than plastic. GasPatch makes fine resin and metal details. The parts are intended for more experienced modelers used to working with resin.

The real subject

The Lewis machine gun was widely used in the observer's (flexible) role on French and Allied aircraft of the First World War. In French production it was supplied by the Darne works, among others. For aircraft use the cooling jacket around the barrel was modified, which led to the characteristic variants with the cooling fins partly removed.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts free of mold release agent and separate them carefully from the casting blocks.
  • Bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate), not with cement for plastic.
  • Sand and clean them up with respiratory protection.
  • Shade the metal of the weapon dark and bring out the cooling fins with a fine wash.

Who the set is for

  • For modelers of French and Allied First World War aircraft in 1:48.
  • For those who want convincing flexible armament for the observer.
  • For more experienced builders used to working with resin.

This is a resin detail accessory, not a complete model. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.

FAQ

The aircraft version of the Lewis had a shortened or partly removed cooling jacket, because the airflow in flight cooled the weapon. This variant reproduces that.

Two resin castings of the French aircraft Darne Lewis machine gun in 1:48 scale.

No. It is a resin detail accessory for the armament of a model, not a standalone kit.
