they are single 40mm guns scale 400
There never has been a single 20mm gun on those main turrets...only first nothing, then a vierling and then a single 40mm

after given to the US...she was partialy dismanteled by the US not modified or upgraded and most 40mm where simply taken off...you see that well on the panama pictures on her way to the bikini islands.
my Prinz Eugen is as ...just before given to the US...so the 40mm are german ...of course

don worry about the joints....it won't be visible
it looks bad on the pics but a lot is already flattened with glue...transparent and you see atm the brown of the wood of the deck thru that glue...but after painting....you'll see once all done
