Can't you trim back the superstructure and just have the bridge overhang, or is the Wirbelwind turret too tall?

Turret needs rear & side cut backs to rotate clear of superstructure. Lots of cutting and aligning panels more vertical - UGH. By omitting top half it is not too tall then cut plastic for flat top.
This has me revisiting M60 turrets with success.

Back at building. Going with M60 turrets. Filled turret holes in main deck with plastic card. Removed rear of M60 turrets reducing ammo storage but plenty of storage in hull. Using turret ring of M60 as a mount so turrets will rotate. Can now get to other things....

Looking good. Amazing how much the look changes once you've bobbed the back of those M60 turrets! Very cool :smiley:

It's going to look like a twin gun version of the HMS Roberts:
