These four accurate and highly detailed model turrets represent the four 6"/47 cal. Triple Turrets mounted to the later, "square bridge" ships of the US Navy’s Cleveland class light cruisers.  These turrets have the late-style integrated, welded rangefinder hoods.  Early, "round bridge" ships of the class had bolt-on armored rangefinder hoods.  Early turrets are available separately.
