This set represents the Mark 38 Main Battery Fire Control Director fit to fast battleships of the North Carolina class, South Dakota class and Iowa class, as well as Alaska class large cruisers. Some ships' Mk.38 directors carried Mk.13 radar antennas fit with airfoil-shaped covers.
This Mk.38 model's configuration represents the
"square back shield"-type as they appeared during World War Two. A set of Mk.38 directors of modernized configuration will be offered soon.
Mk.38 director features:- open director captain hatch (slid forward)
- accurately shaped viewfinder covers with hinge and hinge motor detail
- accurately shaped and located defroster covers with hinge detail
- accurately sized, numbered and located bolt-head details
- raised bases for handrails (handrails not included - use small diameter wire)
Two of the Mk.13 antennas are smooth and two have recessed features. Please consult your references to know if the Mk.13 antenna is appropriate for your model, and of which type, smooth or recessed.
