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:

Never heard of this company. My vote is for the surprised duck like on the box

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.
