Notice: this set of turrets has been updated to include cannon barrels.
 

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

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

  • Atlantis 1/490 scale USS Pittsburgh CA-72
  • Revell 1/490 scale USS Helena CA-75
  • Revell 1/490 scale USS Pittsburgh CA-72
  • Revell 1/490 scale USS Los Angeles CA-135

 

Set includes 3 turrets with barrels.

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

 

A set of Vietnam War-era turrets is available separately.
