Put a touch of glue on the butt end of the barrel and insert it into the turret against the back wall and center in the opening.

After it dries, cut out B8 just out side the black line.

Then glue the top to the turret, make sure that the 2 gray squares are perpendicular to the front gun openings. Now you have a finished turret.

Re: APA-168 1/250 USS Monitor kit build report

Sorry everyone for the long delay, my back went out 2 weeks ago and I could not even walk for almost a week. All good now, and I will posting a lot more of theis build soon. I built both versions for everyone to see. One is complete the other one is almost. I had an issue with one item, and I'm wating to here back from Avery on it. But in the mean time I will post what has been done to date very soon. My Best to all.
