Hi everyone.

I'm building Dragon's King Tiger Porsche Turret w/Zimmerit.

The directions call for a turret ring to be mounted on the hull. The challenge I now face is the turret does not fit into said ring. Any ideas?

Also, there is a black X in the directions for mounting the turret ring. There are no instructions as to what this X means.

Have a wonderful holiday season. Thank you.

I would imagine an X implies it's not to be used...

These instructions?
Make sure you are using the right pieces , sometimes Dragon put's in different versions of the same piece.
The X is just the piece ID. Note this instruction picture, the hull piece is ID'd as X.

Thank you for the responses and pointing out what the X stood for. I have a philosophy: if something isn't working on Tuesday try it again on Wednesday. This morning, the turret base fit perfect: nice and snug as it should. Go figure? Happy Holidays to everyone.

Be well.
