NAVAL ACK-ACK
Modellers with 1/350 kits of either World War One ships or destroyers of the A-I-classes during World War Two will find these exquisite 3D-printed 3in anti-aircraft guns a quick and easy upgrade.
VERSATILE CANNON
A common sight on Royal Navy minesweepers and other such small craft (including converted trawlers and armed merchant ships), the 12pdr 3in gun was a dual-purpose weapon.
RANGE AND BEARING
Fitted to many Royal Navy ships during World War Two, the Mk.III director was used to support the anti-aircraft guns, later being equipped with radar antennas.
ON-DECK DETAILING
Invented by the Greek scientist Archimedes, the windlass is a piece of equipment used for lifting heavy objects – such as the anchor on a ship – and steam-powered examples as fitted on Royal Navy vessels are the subject of Black Cat’s 3D-printed set.
