These models represent the 14"/45 cal. main battery turrets of the Nevada-class battleship USS Oklahoma BB-37 as they appeared from 1930 though 1941, including the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.  The Nevada-class ships were fit with two twin-gun 14"/45 cal. turrets in superfiring positions and two triple-gun turrets just above the main deck.

 

Features:

  • Accurately dimensioned and scaled from official US Navy "Booklet of General Plans: USS Oklahoma BB-37", dated 21 August 1934.
  • Details confirmed from careful study of photographs of the actual turrets.
  • Properly shaped gun openings.
  • Correctly shaped buckler (bloomer/blastbag) attachment collars on glacis.
  • Accurately dissimilar rooftop rangefinders.  Turret #3's rangefinder is longer and offset to one side in order for the viewport to clear the aircraft catapult.
  • Bolthead and rooftop screwhead detail.
  • Trunnion and barrels printed separately as one unit to permit the modeler to select any elevation from -5 degrees to +30 degrees, just like the real guns.
  • Trunnion accurately positioned within the gunhouse according to US Navy O.P. 1112 providing a correct center of rotation.

 

These 3D-printed parts are original designs, accurately representing features of the actual ship based on authoritative plans and high-resolution photos.  They are not 3D-printed copies of plastic or resin kit parts and therefore may be shaped and sized differently.  Some adjustment to your plastic or resin kit's parts or other aftermarket parts such as photo-etch or wood decks may be necessary for best fit.
