                        iv been looking all over for replacement parts for my 1/350 Trumpeter USS North Carolina model.

                        I mainly need the weapons...  a new 16 inch barbette.  duel 5 inch barbettes. 20mm and 40mm anti air weapons.

                        any help on where I could get these would help me very much

                        Trumpeter has a bad reputation for the availability of replacement parts. Read the current thread in the General Modeling Discussion Forum:

                        I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

                        I have never had a bit of trouble getting replacement parts from Trumpeter.  The trick is, you have to go to their US distributor, Stevens International...

                        Do you  mean turrets or barbettes? The twin 5"/38s weren't technically turrets as they didn't have barbettes. Yankee Modelworks had a turret replacement set, but it was essentially just their turrets from one of their older battleship kits. Mine had enough problems that I considered it it even which needed more work to fix. You might be able to find them still on eBay, etc.
