This set of model anchors is patterned on the US Navy's standard 30,000 pound anchors used on pre-war battleships such as:
USS Arizona BB-39
USS Pennsylvania BB-38
USS New York BB-34
USS Texas BB-35
USS Nevada BB-36
USS Oklahoma BB-37
USS New Mexico BB-40
USS Mississippi BB-41
USS Idaho BB-42
USS Tennessee BB-43
USS California BB-44
USS Colorado BB-45
USS Maryland BB-46
USS West Virginia BB-48
and others

A set of 2 anchors for fast battleships of the North Carolina, South Dakota, Iowa and Montana classes is available separately.

Assembly instructions: remove all parts from the sprue, insert the shank through the bottom of the anchor.  Do not glue the shank to the anchor.  A small retaining pin is needed to hold the shank in the crown (the bottom of the flukes).  This part is too small in diameter to be printed.  Use another material such as a small wire, 0.7 mm in diameter.  Insert your retaining pin through the small hole at the bottom of the anchor and glue in place.  The shank will then swivel freely.

These parts are designed for a tight fit.  While producing exceptional detail, acrylic plastic is extremely brittle and breaks easily.  Trim parts, if necessary, rather than force them into place.
