UMT 652-003 Oerlikon 20mm/70 (0,79") AA gun mark 10 (USA) Scale 1:72 Plastic Model Artillery Kit

Oerlikon 20mm/70 AA Gun Mark 10 in 1/72 scale is a plastic model kit by UMT representing a widely used anti-aircraft gun employed by United States forces during World War II. The Oerlikon automatic cannon became one of the most common light anti-aircraft weapons installed on naval vessels and defensive positions.

The 20 mm Oerlikon gun was originally developed in Switzerland and later produced in large numbers for Allied forces. In United States service, the weapon was commonly mounted on ships to provide short-range air defense against aircraft. Its relatively compact size and reliable automatic operation made it suitable for installation on a wide variety of naval platforms.

Oerlikon 20mm/70 Mark 10 - Naval Anti-Aircraft Gun

The Mark 10 configuration represented a naval mounting used by the United States during World War II. These guns were positioned across many classes of warships to provide rapid-response air defense and were frequently installed in multiple locations on larger vessels.

For modelers: small naval gun systems in 1/72 scale benefit from careful assembly of the mounting and barrel components. Painting the gun and mount separately before final assembly can help highlight the distinctive structure of the anti-aircraft installation.
