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.

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...

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