Been slowly cutting up & trial assembling the turret.

It is a tricky assembly but it is starting to look like a turret. The ring assembly is stepped but I cannot see anything telling me which way round the "step" goes (260, 261/S12) I assume it is low end to the front but I think I have to finish both assemblies before trying to put them together. Camo alignment match is a bit ambiguous.

I translated the instruction page (OCR+Gooooglish) which some may find useful as there a couple of tips that which could be used generically (eg wheel mounting order)
