1/35 Mk-15 Phalanx CWIS (RPG)

This is a 1/35 scale model of the CWIS system. The kit is a mix of plastic and photoetched parts, with some flexible plastic used for the ammunition belts. It is a pleasantly complex kit to assemble, lots of parts but with good instructions and excellent fit.

The final photo shows the 1/35 CWIS next to a 1/700 destroyer for scale. Thanks for the kit maker for the Chuck Norris decal -- did you know Chuck has a grizzly bear carpet in his office? The bear's not dead, just afraid to move.

The kit maker also sells a SEARAM variant.
