Hi All,

Have used a durect drive servo on turrets with a gizmo obtained from Barry Blyth, this increasse servo swing to 180 and slows the rotation down.

It works well on my model of HMCS Haida .

Now building 1/96 16" turrets for USS Alabama and managed to get a standard servo inside the turret for elevation so the direct drive from the servo for rotation can still be used, seems to work OK. I know the turret is big on this model but perhaps a mini servo may fit in smaller turrets

Regards

John
