Becker 20mm Cannon 1917 (1:32) on a stand

The Becker Type M2 20 mm cannon was a German automatic cannon developed for aircraft use during World War I by Stahlwerke Becker. It was first mass-produced in 1916 and was installed in a variety of aircraft; the only German autocannon to actually see service in the air during the war.

This is 1:32 model, which is suitable to use with Wingnut Wings model kits:

- Hansa Brandenburg W.12

- AEG G.IV

- Gotha G.IV

and others...

This gun can be installed on a standard german-type gun-ring. Basically it can be used with any German two-seater or bomber, it was even used on an Albatros D.II single-seater.

 

Extreme frost material works best for this model.

Before painting carefully wash model in soapy water, to remove oil residue. Afterwards wash it with running water. Model can be painted with acrylics. Also if some holes on magazine will close with paint during painting, don't worry it's easy to clean it with either thin wire or with sharpened toothpick.

Would be great to see your models with Becker Cannon installed, so please share them!
