Scale: 1/500

Set includes 36 hoists (24 single hoists and 12 double hoists).
 
This set of highly detailed, 3D-printed models represents ready service ammunition hoists for 5"/25 cal. anti-aircraft guns on US Navy warships circa 1941-1942. Hoists were used to lift heavy ammunition from magazines below deck to gun crews. Although there were variations, this type of hoist, with sloped doors and external heat radiator plates, is seen in several post-December 7, 1941 photos of salvage operations at Pearl Harbor (see example in carousel).
 
Models are very small.  Caution is recommended when removing the hoists from the sprue.
 
Dimensions:
Single hoist: 2.16 mm wide x 2.21 mm deep x 2.55 mm tall
Double hoist: 4.23 mm wide x 2.21 mm deep x 2.55 mm tall
