U.S. Navy 40mm Bofors Twin AA Gun Mount 1/700 Resin Accessory Kit

About This Kit

This 1/700 scale resin accessory kit depicts the U.S. Navy's iconic 40mm Bofors Twin AA Gun Mount, a critical anti-aircraft defense system employed aboard American warships throughout the Pacific Theater of World War II. The kit includes two separately detailed gun mounts, each showcasing the characteristic dual-barrel configuration and robust mounting structure that made these weapons highly effective against enemy aircraft.

The models feature finely rendered details including the distinctive cylindrical gun barrels, ammunition feed mechanisms, and the protective shield framework surrounding each mount. The resin castings capture the utilitarian design and mechanical complexity of these naval weapons systems with excellent surface definition. The relatively simple, geometric forms of the mounts lend themselves well to the compact 1/700 scale, where they'll provide convincing detail without overwhelming larger ship models.

These versatile accessory pieces are ideal for detailing 1/700 scale U.S. Navy warship models from the WWII era, including destroyers, cruisers, and larger capital ships. They're equally at home in naval diorama scenes depicting combat operations or harbor scenes, offering modelers the opportunity to significantly enhance the authenticity and visual impact of their fleet-scale collections.

Painting & Assembly

This kit arrives unassembled and unpainted, giving you complete creative freedom. We recommend using cyanoacrylate (super glue) for resin assembly. Clean parts with warm soapy water before priming. Use a quality resin primer before painting with acrylics or enamels. Pin larger joints for a stronger bond.
