This set of three-gun turrets (more properly called "gunhouses") represents the enormous 14"/50 caliber main battery of battleship USS California BB-44 as she appeared from 1921-1941.  They are nearly identical to the gunhouses of the preceding New Mexico-class battleships, differing only in the shape of the armored rangefinder hoods.  
 
A set of turrets as they appeared from 1942-1945 (addition of external vent trunks on turrets 1, 2 and 4), is available separately.

These 3D-printed acrylic parts are designed to accurately represent features of the real turret based on official US Navy drawings.  These turrets are not 3D-printed copies of any plastic or resin kit's parts and therefore may be shaped and sized differently than those parts.  Some adjustment to your plastic or resin kit's parts or other aftermarket parts such as photoetch or wood decks may be necessary for best fit. 

Features:
closed armored rangefinder viewport shutters
rooftop screwheads accurately sized, numbered and located
armored rangefinder hex-head bolt and screw details
bases for rooftop periscopes
barrels are grouped on a trunnion to allow the modeler to set the position of the barrels to any realistic elevation from +30 degrees to -5 degrees, just like the real turrets
separate set of slotted trunnions for modelers who prefer to use their own brass barrels (brass barrels not included)
