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.
