of 1944. Ship is painted in Measure 33/16d as specified by the Ship
Camouflage web site. Model is a Iron Shipwright 4-056 USS Pittsburgh

guns and tubs. Baltimore had two stern aircraft cranes with a single
Quad 40mm gun and tub on the centerline. All resin 8" guns were replaced
with hand made brass tube guns.
