Note: the photos in the carousel are of the turrets in 1/350 scale. This set of 1/500 scale turrets has identical features and detail, they are just smaller.

Scale: 1/500

Set includes 4 turrets with barrels.
 
This set of three-gun turrets (more properly called "gunhouses") represents the enormous 14"/50 caliber main battery of battleships USS New Mexico BB-40, USS Mississippi BB-41 and USS Idaho BB-42.  They are nearly identical to the gunhouses of the succeeding Tennessee-class battleships, differing only in the shape of the armored rangefinder hoods.

Features:
accurately scaled from official US Navy Booklet of General Plans drawings of USS Idaho BB-42 and US Navy Ordinance Pamphlet 1112 dated January, 1945, with details adjusted to match photos of the real turrets
accurately shaped gun openings with barrel rests
closed armored rangefinder viewport shutters
subtle rooftop screwheads acurately sized, numbered and located
armored rangefinder access cap screwhead detail
bases for rooftop periscopes
accurately sized and shaped ventilation trunks
barrels are grouped on a trunnion matched to these turrets 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
