@ Frank - Did you modify the mantlet to bring it closer to the front of the turret, or is it just that the Schurzen disguises it well?
@ VonTirpitz - have a look at the plans I did a few years ago, they might be a good starting point for you and need little more than some K&S brass strip and evergreen sheet:

(The hull brackets could do with some redesign, but I'm pretty happy with how the turret came out)
