| The latest package from France has
brought a set of "Mk4 Depth Charge thrower and depth charges" in
1/350, set AC350040b.
According to website NavWeaps.com, the Mark 4 depth charge rack was a similar to the Mark 3, which was "The first rack design capable of holding the new depth charges developed during World War II. This one could hold eight 300 lbs. (136 kg) type DC". The Mk 4 itself was "Similar to Mark 3 but intended for smaller ships. Could hold four 300 lbs. (136 kg) type DC". |

| The packaging is Black Cat's usual
plastic clamshell container, with the 3D printed runner containing the
parts secured to the bottom of the packaging with double sided tape, which
prevents the runner from moving during shipping.
There are four depth charge throwers and racks in the package. As with most of Black Cat's accessories, the details are terrific. The depth charge has a band around it, and the arm of the thrower has detail on it. The depth charge racks have nice definition to them, making them look more realistic than photo-etch. There are additional depth charges "stored" inside the racks. |

| Another great accessory from Black Cat Models.
Less bending and swearing at photo-etch parts that stick to your fingers,
not to the model, with better details.
This is Black Cat Models set AC350040b, Mk4 Depth Charge thrower and depth charges They retail for about $7.50 USD, and are available directly from Black Cat Models and from some of our sponsors. Highly recommended. |
