1/700 USS Vesuvius (Combrig)
Popularly known as the Dynamite gun cruiser, the USS Vesuvius was unique in having three 15-inch pneumatic guns installed fixed fore and aft that fired a shell at a fixed elevation of 18 degrees. The guns were trained by rotating the ship. This is an excellent little *Combrig* kit, built (almost) out of the box, with only added metal masts and laid on a seascape.
