Product Description
Catalog of over 2500 products for scale modelers (click here).
Scale: 1/72
This model represents a 14 inch/45 caliber Triple-gun Turret of Pennsylvania class battleship USS Arizona BB-39 as it appeared from 1929-1941.
This model turret was designed from official US Navy blueprints of the actual turret obtained from the National Archives and Bureau of Ordnance drawing O.P. 1112 (2nd Revision) dated January 15, 1945.
Features:
Notice: because of its size, this model is only available "White Natural Versatile Plastic", a kind of nylon. White Natural Versatile Plastic is waterproof and strong, a good choice for Radio Control models and Combat RC models where durability is important.
Sharp edges of models printed in white strong and versatile plastic appear less defined and more rounded. Being nylon, "White Natural Versatile Plastic" is generally not sandable and fewer types of paint and glue will adhere to it. Care is recommended in choosing a paint that will adhere to, and fully cure upon, nylon. Google "glue for nylon", "paint for nylon" and "primer for nylon" to find several good choices.
Customers report that "White Natural Versatile Plastic", when compared to "Smooth Fine Detail" acrylic plastic, will have noticeable striations (print lines). To help smooth "White Natural Versatile Plastic" surfaces, apply thin layers of primer meant specifically for nylon. Allow the primer to harden. Then smooth the hardened primer.
