This review is of the Turret and fittings steps #9 thru #12. The major components just fall together. I did find a few items to warn you about.
A) In Step 9 when assembling the Mantlet Armor you have a choice of with or without the Machine Gun mounting. Later on you will discover that part M38 will need to be trimmed to allow the installation of the main gun barrel. This isn't a problem to cut and sand off the flap in step # 11.
B) In step #10, the details on the Coupola. The small handles are mis-marked as K21. You will easily figure this out on the sprue. This assembly is fidley and I ended up with a working hatch to allow a figure. You want to make this decision to help with the closure fit of the hatch. Be careful of the view ports parts E66 as they can interfere with the hatch closure.
C) The Stowage Basket after assembly is a real tight fit on the turret. Keep dry fitting on the turret while the parts are drying to get the best fit.
D) You need to be careful in assembling the 2 piece barrel. If you are there is very little seam clean up needed. Its hard to get between the details for clean up.
I have left off the last fidleys until I have selected and fitted stowage.
