This set of three-gun turrets (more properly called "gunhouses") represents the enormous 14"/50 caliber main battery of battleships USS New Mexico BB-40, USS Mississippi BB-41 and USS Idaho BB-42. They are nearly identical to the gunhouses of the succeeding Tennessee class battleships, differing only in the shape of the armored rangefinder hoods.

These 3D-printed acrylic parts are designed to accurately represent features of the real turret based on official US Navy drawings.  These turrets are not 3D-printed copies of any plastic or resin kit's parts.

Features:
accurately scaled from official US Navy Booklet of General Plans drawings of USS IdahoBB-42 and US Navy Ordinance Pamphlet 1112 dated January, 1945, with details adjusted to match photos of the real turrets
accurately shaped gun openings with barrel rests
closed armored rangefinder viewport shutters
rooftop screwheads acurately sized, numbered and located
armored rangefinder access cap screwhead detail
bases for rooftop periscopes
accurately sized and shaped ventilation trunks
barrels grouped on a trunnion to allow the modeler to set the position of the barrels to any realistic elevation from +30 degrees to -5 degrees, just like the real turrets
