    Most turrets don't have frames, per se. Some people make one, then make a mold and cast the others they need so that they'll look the same. If you make a turret from balsa, make it a little smaller than scale, and add 2 or 3 layers of fiberglass to the outside for strength.

    I believe that Strike models carries KGV Turrets, but they might not be up on the website, perhaps Keri or Stephen can chime in?

    Hello,

    I just finished putting the twin and quad turrets up on the website. We also have the primary and secondary rangefinders from George M.
