Building the Very Fire Atlanta. Would her 20mm's have been shielded? The kit does not include shields but I can add them from the spares box if necessary. TIA

Yes, this class had the splinter shield on the mount.

Anybody have or can direct me to a rigging plan/diagram of the Atlanta class cruisers. I've accessed a ton of pictures but would like something more definitive. Thanks.

Wow, great thread and lots of info!

I just recently got into building 1/700 ship models (used to be an armor guy). I've built a Trumpeter USS Baltimore, a VEE USS New JErsey and working on a Very Fire Montana. I have a VEE USS San Diego ordered.

I just found this thread and the information I've gleaned so far is terrific. I"m definitely going to peruse this thread further. THanks to everyone for their contributions.

Welcome aboard! The "Calling All Ship Fans" threads are generally the best place to start anywhere on the internet to research a ship as a model builder :smallsmile:
