Among naval historians, the US Navy 5"/38 caliber gun is considered the best intermediate-caliber, dual purpose naval gun of World War II. Unlike later lighter-weight marks intended for aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers, the 76-ton "Mark 28" version of the twin-gun mount was designed specifically for fast battleships and was mounted to ships of the North Carolina-class, South Dakota-class, and Iowa-class. This mark was externally identical in shape to the mounts fit to early Atlanta class-cruisers.


Features:

  • accurate dimensions scaled from official US Navy drawings and confirmed by photos and measurements taken from actual Twin Mounts
  • detailed armored viewfinder and rangefinder hoods
  • separate trunnions with integrated barrels to allow the modeler to choose any realistic elevation from +85 degrees to -15 degrees, just like the real mount
  • hand rungs and foot rungs
  • crew access hatches and maintenance hatches with hinge and bolt-head details
  • accurately sized and located bolt-heads
