I have some older pictures of my initial layout. I went down to three 6V 12AH batteries rather than 4 and went to a gear drive system. I ran mine with dual side mounts on the stern raised turret and dual aft cannons last year (I had not had time to make up a set of front cannon)

I'll be happy to tell you more about my setup (I run IRCWCC fast gun)

That is molded high density self skinning foam. I am in the process of selling/shipping the molds to tugboat. (I still need to remake a turret mold).

The turrets are also my own design and I plan on trying to make a more manufacturerable version of them this winter.

Hi...
Who made your dual cannons? I am building a Tirpitz and could use 2 sets...

Thanks,

I did. They are the first set of prototypes. I am waiting to hear back from Curt as to if he still wants them soon, if not I will be selling the three turrets. If you want to know more, drop me a email, and we can chat.
