UMT 650-001 Oerlikon 20 mm/70 (0,79") Mk 4 (USA) Scale 1:72 Plastic Model Artillery Kit

Oerlikon 20 mm/70 Mk 4 is an unpainted, unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale produced by UMT. The model represents the Oerlikon 20 mm automatic cannon widely used by United States forces as a light anti-aircraft weapon during the World War II period.

The Oerlikon 20 mm gun originated from a Swiss design and became one of the most widely deployed light anti-aircraft weapons of the Second World War. The Mk 4 version was adopted for use by the United States Navy and installed on many types of vessels to provide close-range air defense.

Oerlikon 20 mm/70 Mk 4 - Naval Anti-Aircraft Gun

The 20 mm Oerlikon system was valued for its compact size, relatively simple operation, and ability to be mounted on a wide range of ships and naval platforms. During the war it became a standard component of shipboard defensive armament, appearing on patrol craft, transport ships, and larger naval vessels.

For modelers: Small-scale artillery subjects benefit from assembling the main gun mount and support frame as separate subassemblies before painting. This helps maintain clear detail on the gun barrel, shield, and mounting components.
