This model represents the middle pair of 15 cm L/55 (5.9"/55 caliber) twin-gun turrets of the World War Two-era Deutsche Kriegsmarine battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz.  These turrets were also intended to be installed aboard the proposed H-klasse super-battleships and proposed M-klasse cruisers.  The turret is properly known as the SK C/28. 
 
This version has integrated rangefinder armored hoods.  Turrets without the rangefinder, also suitable for battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, are available separately.
