Scale: 1/192   (1/16 inch = 1 foot)

Set includes 2 turrets: 1 twin-gun 8"/55 cal. turret and 1 triple-gun 8"/55 cal. turret.  No barrels.

Two sets are required to complete one model.  
 
This two-turret set (more properly called "gunhouses"), is designed to accurize any 1/700 scale USS Pensacola CA-24 or USS Salt Lake City CA-25 heavy cruiser model kit.  Depending on which kit you own, some adjustment may be needed for best fit.

Features:
overall dimensions precisely scaled from US Navy O.P.1112 (2nd Rev.) "Gun Mount and Turret Catalog" drawings dated 15 January 1945
correct gunhouse roof geometry
accurately shaped armored rangefinder hoods
four crew access doors and 172 hex-head exterior bolts properly positioned, sized and correctly placed according to photos of the actual turrets
separate trunnion, slotted for your favorite brass barrels (not included) to allow you to position the guns to any realistic elevation from -5 degrees to +40 degrees just like the real turret
 
The US Navy installed two 8"/55 caliber Triple-gun Turrets and two 8"/55 caliber Twin-gun Turrets on the ships of the Pensacola class heavy cruisers of World War II fame:
USS Pensacola CA-24
USS Salt Lake City CA-25
