These 3D-printed mounts are designed to match the overall dimensions of features of the real mounts as recorded in official US Navy drawings.  They are not copies of any injection molded plastic or resin kits' parts and therefore may be differently shaped and sized.  Some adjustment to your kit, or other aftermarket products such as photoetch, may be necessary for best fit.
