Scale: 1/547. Some Revell box art and websites erroneously report the scale of the Revell Midway class kits as 1/540. Comparison of the models to Navy plans indicates that the models' true scale is 1/547. These directors are precisely scaled to match the Revell kits' true scale.
Set includes 18 mounts (turrets) - barrels not included
Recommended for:
- Heller (ex-Revell) 1/547 scale USS Franklin D. Roosevelt CV-42
- Revell 1/547 scale USS Midway CV-41
- Revell 1/547 scale USS Franklin D. Roosevelt CV-42
- Revell 1/547 scale USS Coral Sea CV-43
This set of accurately shaped and highly detailed models represents the fourteen 5"/54 caliber Mk.16 mounts carried by USS Midway CVB-41, USS Franklin D. Roosevelt CVB-42 and USS Coral Sea CVB-43 circa 1949-1953. These mounts perfectly match any of the three Midway class carrier models made by Revell and also released by Heller.
Features:
- accurately scaled and dimensioned from official US Navy drawings appearing in Ordnance Pamphlet 1112 dated March, 1945
- hexagonal boltheads, properly sized, numbered and located
- slot for barrel
- solid blast hood for gun mount captain with subtle exterior framing
- mount bottom post to aid in alignment
- set contains 9 left-handed mounts and 9 right-handed mounts (the difference is the location of the blast hood - see photos in the carousel above which are marked to show where mounts of each type should be located on your model)
- all mounts marked either "L" or "R" on the bottom of the mount to indicate whether the mount is left-handed or right-handed
