Features:
overall dimensions scaled from Krupp factory drawings.  The dimensions match drawings published in Anatomy of the Ship: The Battleship Bismarck by Jack Brower
details confirmed by careful study of photographs of the real ships
separate trunnions with slots for your favorite kit or aftermarket barrels which can be set to any realistic elevation from -5.5 to +30 degrees, just like the real turrets
accurately sized and positioned bolthead detail
accurately shaped and detailed rangefinder, visible within:
accurately shaped armored rangefinder hoods with open shutters
Turret "Anton", the forward-most turret on the ship, accurately has its rangefinder removed and the openings blanked.  Only turrets "Bruno", "Caesar" and "Dora" have armored rangefinder hoods.
 
Note: the armored rangefinder hoods are printed very thinly and are somewhat fragile.  Caution during handling is recommended.

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