Product Description
1/144 scale very hi detailed and accurate model of US Navy Mark33 Gun Director (Rangefinders).
The Mark 33 was first mounted afloat in 1934 aboard the carrier USS Ranger and mods were available to control both 5"/25 and 5"/38 mountings (basically different "cams" in the computer to account for the different ballistics of the two weapons).
Used on: USS ENTERPRISE CV-6, USS Arizona, USS Maury
Real scaled from original.
Hollowed to saved material.
Model unpainted.

Some part cleanup will be necessary. The 3D printing process uses a waxy substance to support certain part features. Although the parts are cleaned by Shapeways, some waxy residue may remain. It can be safely removed with water and a mild aqueous detergent like "Simple Green" using an old, soft toothbrush, Q-tips or pipe cleaners. Customers report that "Bestine" and "Goo Gone" also work well.
During the printing process, liquid resin is cured by ultraviolet light. Microscopic bits of resin may remain uncured. Let your parts sit in direct sunlight for a few hours to fully cure the resin.
Water-based acrylic paints meant for plastics is strongly recommended. Other paints, especially enamels, may not cure on Frosted Detail 3D-printed plastics.
