Updated design! More detail!
Scale: 1/164. Lindberg's box art erroneously states the scale of the kit as 1/170. Sources indicate the true scale is 1/164. This model is precisely scaled to fit the Lindberg kit.
Set includes 1 mount (turret), barrel and ring stand.
Recommended for the Lindberg 1/164 scale USS Carronade IFS-1 "Bobtail Cruiser" Missile Assault Ship
Among naval historians, the US Navy 5"/38 caliber gun is considered the best intermediate-caliber, dual purpose naval gun of World War II. This type was installed on several classes of wartime and Cold War-era destroyers, destroyer escorts, inshore fire support ships (IFSs), landing ships medium (rocket) (LSM(R)s), auxiliaries and Coast Guard cutters as well as the battleship USS Idaho BB-42 and the nuclear-powered cruiser USS Long Beach CGN-9.
