1/1800th scale Montana Class Battleship model. Certain elements not to scale.

The Montana-class battleships were planned American “super battleships” designed from 1939–1943 as successors to the Iowa class. Five ships (Montana, Ohio, Maine, New Hampshire, and Louisiana) were authorized, but none were completed and all were cancelled before construction progressed. Their planned armament consisted of twelve 406 mm (16 in)/50 Mark 7 guns in four triple turrets, twenty 127 mm (5 in)/54 dual-purpose guns, 10–40 Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, and fifty-six 20 mm Oerlikon cannons.

Two versions are included, the canonical triple sixteen-inch turret design and a hypothetical version with twin eighteen-inch mounts.

This model is designed and tested at 1/1800th scale, but up-scaling and down-scaling are possible. Since the model is optimized for 1/1800th scale, it is not ideal to print larger versions due to a lack of detail. The gun barrels and mast have been enlarged.

This is part of my collection of WWII warships, keep an eye out for more to come. If you have a specific request, message me and I'll bump it up my list.

Tested with PLA at .1mm layer height with .4mm nozzle.
