turrets are marked 1 through 5 on the bottom rear overhang for easy identification
Turrets 1, 3 and 5, located on the main deck, have accurate crew access hatch and shell ejection ports on the rear turret wall (superfiring Turrets 2 and 4 do not – crew access to Turrets 2 and 4 was made through the turret bottom overhang)

These scale model turrets are designed from scans of original builder’s blueprints of the real turret stored at the National Archives.  They are not 3D-printed copies of any resin or plastic model kit’s parts and therefore are not the same shape or size.
