I purchased a set of these for my North Carolina build and found them superior over the kit supplied turrets. Glad to hear a second opinion on these.

I bought some other 3D printed resin fittings from Model Monkey and I too can affirm that they are FAR superior to even the best of the Shapeways model fittings I've tried.
The 3D printed resin parts are outstanding!

A lot of Shapeways' stuff really sucks and is actually sometimes worse than the part it's replacing. The texturing from the wax, as well as printing striations make some figures totally useless. A lot of Model Monkey brand gray resin items are almost as smooth as cast resin.
