The Brooke Rifle, named after its developer, John Mercer Brooke (CSA) closely resembled the popular Parrott Gun used by the North. It was a breech loading gun that had a long , heavy tapered barrel constructed of cast iron. The gun was produced at Richmond's Tredegar Iron Works and the Naval Ordnance Works in Selma, Alabama. The iron was much cheaper to use in construction than the bronze used in earlier cannon. As the war progressed, however, the quality of the iron declined, and the later guns were prone to exploding when fired.
This 1/32 scale (54-mm) resin kit is not difficult to build, and includes wood deck as shown in picture above. Base measures approximately 6" from edge to edge.
