Hey all!

Would anyone by chance have the dimensions to one of the Deutschland-class turrets? Or, would anyone perchance happen to have a spare turret or one I could borrow? Or, could someone hook me up with the length, width, height, and angles?

Envision the turret from the Graf Spee in 1/350 made 10 times as large. That's what I will be doing.

I would greatly appreciate any help with this. The web is full of pictures, but no blueprints or dimensions that I could find.

Thank you.

Mike

Scharnhorst turrets weren't exactly identical, but reasonably similar. I believe they had the same dimensions. Try Google-ing Scharnhorst info.

Hey Biggles,

Been all over the net and cannot locate dimensions or the degree of slopes for the turrets.

I found pictures galore...just no data...

:(

Hello Mike,
I have the specs of the amour all around for the turrents. I also have a photo of the Deutschland fitting out with 3 figures in it and the turrent open.
if you want I can post them.
cheers,
Bruce

Ah, Bruce, please do! I'm deep into this build...it's coming together, slowly but surely. Seen my "off the rocker" post here yet? Crazy for sure, but...man, so stoked.

I've managed to pull on view with meter measurements...playin' with some programs, I've got ROUGH dimensions...I'd love to get this to a gnatsass...IF I can.

Thanks!

Mike

Hi Mike,

I can give You two exact mesurements, distance apart gun axes 2750 mm, barbette INTERNAL diameter 10200 mm.

And maybe try to buy this book

Hey all. Thanks! I did get the measurements from Daniel M in his build of the Graf Spee.
