Some progress on this.
Got the turrets finished apart from the MG's and any weathering I do - they will be last 'cos I'll only knock them off if I fit them earlier.
Very impressed with the kit as, apart from a few smears of putty on the deck superstructure, I've not needed any at all on the turrets.
Incidentally, does anyone know what the bracket doohickey fitted at the rear of the turret hatch is for? It looks way too big for an MG.

That is the mounting for a DT machine gun for anti-aircraft use.

The barrel goes through the round clamp at the front, the curved rack at the bottom allows it to be fixed at various angles for firing against aircraft.
