The ironclad was the CSS Virginia. The Merrimack was a US frigate. Nice model by the way. |

That's very cool. My wife is descended from one of the VIRGINIA'S Crew (a Tarheel CSA artillerist seconded to the CSN as a landsman gunner) – This will a nice gaming piece for the Mantle with the Missus blessings! |

It's been commonly called both, back in that region, and the battle has historically been known as the Merrimack vs. the Monitor for at least about 50 years (which I can assert to first-hand), if not 150+. |

How big is it ? it's about 1:60 scale (28mm), it's going to be very big. I have a "Pook Turret" at 1:100 scale (15mm) and it's a good 280mm long. |
