USS SMITH DD-17 WORLD WAR I WEAPONS UPDATE SET
Nautilus has used 3D printed items in the past for several projects, but this is our first 3D printed product for sale.
The Chuan Yu 1/200 USS Smith Destroyer (or Torpedo Boat Destroyer, as it was called then) is a nice kit, but it is designed for radio controlled operation. As such, the small parts have to be designed to be more rugged than one would want on a display model. This set adds the missing detail and updates the kit to the World War One kit adopted in 1916.
The Weapons Set provides the modeler with:
4 twin torpedo tube mounts (3 are needed), 6 Mk7mod1 3"/50 gun mounts (5 are needed), and 4 anchors (2 are needed). The extra parts are given to provide a buffer in case the modeler ruins one snipping it off the parts tree it was grown on. We recommend a Xuron photoetch cutter (or similar) and its careful use beginning the cuts at the build platform at the far end of the supports.
As these small parts are difficult to photograph, here are a few renders of the 3D CAD drawings:
PLEASE NOTE: THE 200-201 WEAPONS SET INCLUDES ANCHORS.
200-202 USS Smith DD-17 Anchor Set
