This model represents the forward and aft pairs of 15 cm L/55 (5.9"/55 caliber) twin-gun turrets of the World War Two-era Deutsche Kriegsmarine battleships Bismarck, Tirpitz, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. 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 does not have rangefinders with armored hoods. Turrets with the rangefinder hoods are available separately.
