1/35 Phalanx Mk. 15 Close-In Weapon System - RPG Model

Post by Thomas_M »

I always was impressed by those guns, starting with a Gatling in a Wild West movie. When I learned about this kit, I didn´t hesitate to order one from Asia! Caution: if you don´t like to work with tiny PE parts, then you not really should buy this one...

The cover says it all!

Four nice colour options, including "Chuck Norris"!

Did I mention the PE parts? :whistle:

Sweet!

But you MUST do the Chuck Norris marking option... :giggles:

Oh, my!

Never heard of this company. My vote is for the surprised duck like on the box
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Nice, saw this kit a few days back on scalemates. Was surprised to see this done as a kit. Will be watching.

Yeah, the last layer of active defense for USN ships since the 80’s.
