These scale 14 inch/45 caliber Gun Turrets are designed to help build a model of the Nevada-class battleship USS Nevada BB-36 .  The Nevada-class ships were fit with two twin-gun 14"/45 cal. turrets in superfiring positions and 2 triple-gun turrets just above the main deck.  These models represent superfiring twin-gun turrets #2 and #3 as they appeared from the mid-1930s through World War Two, including the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.  Triple-gun 14"/45 cal. turrets are available separately.
