Calling all Baltimore-class (CA-68) fans

[Paul Peterson]

Starfighter Decals makes 1/500 scale twin 3-50 guns. This may be close enough to 1/481 for you.

They also make 1/480 to 1/540 scale Mk-56 gun directors. Not very precise for scale, but I believe that's all there is.

I have ordered the 3-50 guns. They are resin, and I think they are much better than the kit parts, but probably not as good as a modern 3-D printed parts.

For your WWII Baltimores, Tom's Modelworks makes 1/500 scale photo-etched 20mm Oerlikons Not precisely the scale you need, but they got to better than the molded-in 20mm guns.

Paul,

Being that I'm modeling USS TOLEDO (CA-133) for the late 1950's, I have no need for 20-mm guns in any scale.

Model Monkey makes the Mk 56 directors in both 1/350 and 1/480-500 scale.

I'll checkout Starfighter for other items.

I'm not aware of anyone making the REGULUS missiles in any scale.

Thanks,

Rick

All Righty, Then!!! - Here's a Regulas all spruced up JUST for you!!!

I took this in 2015 while visiting USS INTREPID Museum - Perhaps this will help the effort!
