This set of turrets represents the 15 cm/55 caliber (5.9") secondary battery of the World War Two-era Deutsche Kriegsmarine battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.  They were also intended to be installed aboard the proposed H-klasse super-battleships and proposed M-klasse cruisers.  The turrets are properly known as the SK C/28.

accurately shaped rangefinder and viewfinder shutters in closed positions.

These model turrets were designed from official drawings of the real turrets.  They are NOT 3D-printed copies of any plastic or resin kits' parts therefore they may be sized and shaped differently than the parts in your plastic or resin kit.  Some adjustment to your kit's parts or other aftermarket sets such as photo-etch may be needed for best fit.

Note: the barrels are very thin and fragile.  Caution is recommended when during handling.
