| Black Cat Models from
France has sent us some of their latest
products. One of those to arrive is set
AC350104, 4in/50 gun on semi enclosed mount (x4).
According to the NavWeaps website, "These guns were first used as secondary guns on the Arkansas class monitors and then on nearly all of the "Flush-Deck" destroyers as well as on many submarines. Well-liked on the latter ships, as its light weight made it easy to handle, an important factor on a small ship." |

| THE 4in/50cal GUNS | |||||||||||||
| The packaging is the
usual plastic clamshell container, with three print
rafts containing the 3D printed parts attached to the
bottom of the packaging with double sided
tape. There are a total of four (4) weapons
in the package, the parts being broken out with one
print raft holding the mounts, one holding the guns and
one the shields.
The gun mounts are finely detailed, with seats and handwheels. The guns themselves are also very nice, with open muzzles on the barrels and a very, very fine handle on the breech of the gun. The gun shields are thinly printed with some fine raised detail on the fronts of the shields. There are some faint print lines on these parts, mostly on the sides of the shields. Hopefully this will be covered when painted. |

| A very useful accessory from Black
Cat Models, especially for those of you (like me) who
have other manufacturers (older) releases of four
stacker destroyers in the stash. These are very
well detailed, and will be a nice upgrade to the
original parts in those kits.
This is Black Cat Models set AC350104, 4in/50 gun on semi enclosed mount (x4). The set retails for about $9.15 USD, and are available directly from Black Cat Models, who kindly provided this review sample, or from some of our other fine sponsors. Highly recommended. |
