1/4800 US BB Colorado-Maryland Class [1941] (2+1)

A repeat of the previous Tennessee-class with heavier main armament: 8x 16"/45cal Mk5 guns in 4 dual mounts. Four were originally planned, but BB47 (Washington) had to be cancelled when the Washington Naval Treaty took effect in 1922.

This item depicts the ships as they would've have appeared in 1941. Of the 3, Maryland and West Virginia were present during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, while Colorado was stateside being modernized (where Maryland was months prior; note the anti-torpedo blister that West Virginia lacked).

Includes 6x aircraft representing OS2U Kingfisher.
