Wonder if the kit will allow any turret to be built or just nr.2. The tower looks a bit low to me. Needless to say I will probably get one :rolling:

Pity they don't get the naming right - In the Royal Navy turrets were called 'A' 'B' & 'X' 'Y' forward to aft with the occasional 'Q' turret in WWI ships. The only exception I believe was HMS Agincourt ( WWI ), which had her 7 turrets named after the days of the week!
Dave
They did. Says on the box art B turret.
Could be interesting as built. Aircraft catapult and the aircraft... quite a piece in 1/72...
THANKS Dave for that as i did wonder an was goin to ask ow mate Bob if he knew
CHEERS

Didn’t realise Agincourt turrets were named after days of the week. Cheers for that……
I always wondered why the rear turrets were not called Y and Z myself, X and Y almost infers they might add another one later.
For completeness early five turret designs (2 front, 2 middle and one rear) had the mid ships wing turrets named both P and Q Dave. Don’t know which was port and which was starboard though :tongue-out3:

Wasn’t one wing turret usually further forward than the other? So the forward one would be P, I guess.
Not always Jakko. Some of the early ones were parallel to each other. Like this.
Later they were staggered in echelon so I they could fire across the deck and provide a full broadside, like this.
Not the greatest of ideas though, the blast damaged superstructure, the ships boats and tore up the decks LOL….

I'd need a bigger shed for that monster!
Bet that shed would be cheaper too.
Sad aircraft that one. Hopgood’s mount. Damaged on the way to the dams, only two crew survivors when it was hit again and shot down over the Mohne dam. Interesting kit, though a bit big for me…..
