About product

Photo-etched 20mm Oerlikon guns USN 1:700 (Flyhawk)

This photo-etched set from Flyhawk is intended for detailing the light 20 mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns on US Navy warships of the Second World War. It is not a ship kit but a set of fine photo-etched parts with which you replace the coarse plastic guns and their mounts.

What the set is for

Oerlikon guns were among the most widespread light anti-aircraft armament on American ships and were found in large numbers all over the superstructure. In 1:700 scale the individual weapons are tiny and in plastic they have to be simplified; the photo-etched version gives the barrel, shield and mount a fineness that injection-molded plastic cannot manage.

Usage tips

Separate the very small parts with a sharp knife, bend them in a photo-etch bender and glue them with a micro drop of cyanoacrylate. Given their size we recommend tweezers and working magnification. Once everything is assembled, apply primer and paint with an airbrush.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of American warships in 1:700 scale
  • Modelers who want fine light anti-aircraft armament
  • More experienced builders familiar with photo-etch
  • Collectors with display-quality standards

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package.
