Product Description
Catalog of over 2500 products for scale modelers (click here).
Scale: 1/100
Includes 1 turret with trunnion.
This model represents the forward-most 38cm (15") turret, Turret "Anton", of the World War Two-era Deutsche Kriegsmarine battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz, more properly known as the Drh L C/34 mount which was fit with SK C/34 guns.
For a detailed description of the actual weapons, click here.
Features:
This model turret was designed from official drawings of the real turrets. It is NOT a 3D-printed copy of any plastic or resin kits' parts therefore it may be sized and shaped differently than the parts you may have.
Notice: this model is available in economical "White Natural Versatile Plastic", a kind of nylon. White Natural Versatile Plastic is waterproof and strong, a good choice for Radio Control models where durability is important. When compared to "Fine Detail" acrylic plastic, sharp edges appear less defined and more rounded when printed. Being nylon, "White Natural Versatile Plastic" is generally not sandable and fewer types of paint and glue will adhere to it. Care is recommended in choosing a paint that will adhere to, and fully cure upon, nylon. Google "glue for nylon", "paint for nylon" and "primer for nylon" to find several good choices.
Customers report that "White Natural Versatile Plastic", when compared to "Smooth Fine Detail" acrylic plastic, will have noticeable striations (print lines). To help smooth "White Natural Versatile Plastic" surfaces, apply thin layers of primer meant specifically for nylon. Allow the primer to harden. Then smooth the hardened primer.
Because of nylon's characteristics, White Natural Versatile Plastic is generally unsuitable for static display models. "Smooth Fine Detail" acrylic plastic is recommended for static display models where fine detail, sharp edges, and smooth surfaces are required.
