| Although the 20mm Oerlikon was a common sight on WWII Allied ships, they were also prevalent on those belonging to the Italian Navy. Regia Marina has thus produced this 1/700 PE set of 20mm Oerlikons with the conical base and notched shield to outfit your fleet - whatever their nationality. | ||
| PHOTOETCH | ||
| The fret contains three identical frets with 10 guns each, providing you with a total of 30. They are etched on what appears to be stainless steel. There are four parts to each gun: base, stand/mount, gun, and shield. There is minimal folding, making it a good balance between user-friendliness and detailing. |  |

The large A4-size instructions show the steps in large diagrams that are easy to follow, along with a list of suitable Italian ships that could use these guns.
