Don't know if I should post this on the scratch build thread or not? Anyway both ships will be in 1972 makeup and (i hope) will look like this. Got to get rid of all those F-4 I have. http://www.navsource.org/archives/02/026236.jpg

Hiya gtb, I do not know of any company that produce that turret, WEM produce the Knox and CFA classes that carry a similar turret, if you find a master i can send you a 2 part mixture that will allow you to make a mold, or mail it here and i will try and make copies for your use. Happy modeling John
