Haveing studied the stonewall i can tell you that there were no turrets per say, she only carried 3 main guns, 1 300 lb rifle forward and 2 70 lb rifles aft. Some sources say she carried 2 115 lb breach loading brooks rifles, 1 fore and 1 aft. The guns pivoted in the forward and aft armored houseing to fire out fixed gunports that had hinged lids like the Merrimack. I have seen other models also showing gatling guns on the bulwarks. The model link i found and downloaded is somewhat more colorfull than displayed here, and it is full hull. I dont think i can download it here without permission. Ill, download the link monday. Now that i have takeing a second look at it Jim, that is the same model, but a different link?
