Scale: 1/490 (1/483 true scale).  Some Revell/Atlantis boxart states the kit's scale to be 1/490.  When compared to official US Navy plans, the models' true scale is closer to 1/483.  These turrets are perfectly matched to your Revell/Atlantis kit.

 

Recommended to help build a Cold War-era Baltimore-class heavy cruiser from:

  • Atlantis 1/490 scale USS Pittsburgh CA-72
  • Revell 1/490 scale USS Boston CAG-1
  • Revell 1/490 scale USS Canberra CA-70/CAG-2

This accurately shaped and highly detailed set represents the three 8 inch/55 caliber triple turret main battery of the US Navy's Baltimore-class heavy cruisers as they appeared during the Vietnam War.
