This accurately sized, shaped and highly detailed model represents the cage mainmast of Colorado and Tennessee class battleships as they appeared from the late 1930s through December 7th, 1941.
Overall dimensions scaled from official US Navy "Booklet of General Plans: USS West Virginia BB-48" dated November 30, 1939. Details were adjusted to match high-resolution photos of the actual ship obtained from the National Archives by Mr. Martin J. Quinn. Features include detailed supporting structure and service catwalks for the mainmast searchlight platform and ship's bell.
Install the mainmast so that the ship's bell is aft.
Dimensions:
Height = 74.57 mm (2.936 inches)

Suitable for models of:
USS Tennessee BB-43
USS California BB-44

Notice: This mast is not re-scalable to 1/700 scale. In that scale, it is too fragile to survive the printing and cleaning process.
