This model represents the original appearance of the 16"/45 caliber main battery of the Colorado-class battleships USS Colorado BB-45, USS Maryland BB-46 and USS West Virginia BB-48.  This turret is suitable for all ships of the class including the never-commissioned USS Washington BB-47 prior to the addition of external vent trunks.  A turret with external vent trunks is available separately.

USS West Virginia BB-48 had this configuration on the morning of December 7th, 1941 while anchored at Pearl Harbor on "Battleship Row".   West Virginia's turrets did not have external vent trunks like her sisters that day.  

Features:

accurate shape - these are not Tennessee class turrets with two guns
closed armored rangefinder viewport shutters
rooftop screwheads accurately sized, numbered and located
armored rangefinder hex head bolt and screw details
