Description

Want a high detail model of the iconic WW2 Iowa-class Battleship's turret that rotates and has moving guns?  This 1:172 model only takes seconds to assemble and requires no glue.  There's also a version that doesn't require an AMS.

 

Background: The Iowa-class battleships were armed with nine 16-inch (406 mm) Mark 7 guns in three triple turrets. These guns could fire 2,700-pound armor-piercing shells at targets up to 24 miles away. The guns had a rate of fire of approximately two rounds per minute, with a 20-second reload time.  Each shell was 6ft tall, so imagine a shell weighing more than some cars and the size of human being flung out of a gun barrel.

 

Are there other ship guns or launchers that you'd like to a model of?  Let me know in the comments :-)

Bambu filaments used

  • Polymaker Metallic Chrome (Amazon link)
  • Polymaker Metallic Silver (Amazon link)
  • Matte White
  • Matte Caramel
  • Metal Iron Gray Black

Assembly

  1. Use the pegs to attach the deck to the turret.
  2. Then snap on the 3 turrets to the horizontal bar at the front of the turret. 
    1. If you have any trouble snapping it in, try different angles – an angle with the gun facing up more can help.
