I may be wrong, but shouldn't the kit's turret have the circular trunnion pins behind the mantlet, as seen here:

And here:

The kit's mantlet has the cutouts for these pins, but not the pins themselves.

Incidentally, I don't know why the links won't work correctly when directly clicked on, but copying and pasting will. Apologies for that.
