Scale: 1/700

Set includes 8 mounts.  No barrels.
 
Mk.32 mounts were fit to aircraft carriers, cruisers and reconstructed pre-war battleships.  This type is also suitable for late Atlanta class (Oakland class) light cruisers.
 
For fast battleships USS North Carolina BB-55, USS Washington BB-56, USS South Dakota BB-57, USS Indiana BB-58, USS Massachusetts BB-59 , USS Alabama BB-60, USS Iowa BB-61, USS New Jersey BB-62, USS Missouri BB-63 and USS Wisconsin BB-64, and early Atlanta class cruisers, choose 5"/38 cal. Mk.28 twin-gun mounts, available separately, which have a slightly different shape.
 
For Allen M. Sumner and Gearing class destroyers, choose 5"/38 cal. Mk.38 twin-gun mounts, available separately.

Barrels not included.  Please use your favorite turned brass, resin or kit's barrels.
 
Among naval historians, the US Navy 5"/38 caliber gun is considered the best intermediate-caliber, dual purpose naval gun of World War II.  Compared to the earlier Mk.28 twin-gun mounts (turrets) designed for fast battleships, this set of 3D-printed models represents the later Mk.32 mount which was lighter, slightly differently shaped, and designed for aircraft carriers, re-built pre-war battleships and cruisers where weight was an important consideration.

Features:
accurate dimensions scaled from official US Navy blueprints
detailed armored viewfinder and rangefinder hoods
slots for barrels (barrels not included - too fine to print)
integrated trunnions set to +5 degrees (loading angle)
crew access hatches and maintenance hatches with hinge and bolt-head details
bolt-heads in accurate locations
roof-top mount captain access hatch
 
These mounts are precisely scaled to match the dimensions of the real mounts as recorded in official Navy blueprints.  They are not 3D-printed copies of any plastic model ship parts and therefore are likely to be differently shaped and sized than the mounts found in your plastic or resin kit.  Some adjustment to your kit's parts or any aftermarket items such as photoetch railings may be necessary for best fit.
