Recommended for Iron Shipwright's 1/350 scale USS Salt Lake City CA-25
This set of turrets (more properly called "gunhouses"), represents the main battery of US Navy heavy cruisers USS Pensacola CA-24 and USS Salt Lake City CA-25.
Depending on which model ship kit you own, some adjustment may be needed for best fit.
Features:
- overall dimensions precisely scaled from US Navy O.P.1112 (2nd Rev.) "Gun Mount and Turret Catalog" drawings dated 15 January 1945
- correct gunhouse roof geometry
- accurately shaped armored rangefinder hoods
- four crew access doors and 172 hex-head exterior bolts properly positioned, sized and correctly placed according to photos of the actual turrets
- separate trunnion, slotted for your favorite brass barrels (not included) to allow you to position the guns to any realistic elevation from -5 degrees to +40 degrees just like the real turret
These turrets carried two or three Mk.9 guns, later upgraded to Mk.14 guns. Please use your favorite brass barrels or your kit's parts.
