The crew of the 40 mm quad Bofors, US Navy (1:35, Zimi Model)

A set of US Navy crew figures for the 40 mm quad Bofors anti-aircraft gun of the Second World War in 1:35 scale from Zimi Model.

The figures

The figures capture sailors working the anti-aircraft gun, loading and aiming. Accessories such as life jackets, ammunition clips and shells are usually included; check the exact contents and the number of figures against the manufacturer's information for this item. The set brings a deck anti-aircraft scene to life.

Building and painting tips

Wash the parts free of residue and cut off any print supports, glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate) and sand with your airways protected. After a primer, paint in layers; treat the naval uniforms plainly and lift the life jackets with a strong tone. Handle the uniforms and equipment according to the practice of the period.
