In June we profiled an 8.8cm gun kit eduard had released and interest was expressed for a 10.5cm gun -and now it's here!
Originally designed as a surface-only weapon, a wet-mount version was developed for U-Boats. It was also exported to Spain during the 1940s.
The standard unshielded low-angle deck gun mounted forward of the conning tower in type I, type IX and type X U-boats. The guns were also used in shielded high-angle mountings aboard type 35 and type 43 minesweepers, Elbing class torpedo boats, cruiser Emden, and old battleships Schlesien and Schleswig-Holstein.
The eduard kit (No. 672053) is made up of resin and brass parts and is listed on their site for @$11.70 (US) plus shipping.
