I'm not sure what you're asking. How to paint the tank in primer or how to undo molded on details. Can you rephrase the question? I think you'll get more replies that way.

Like Al, I'm a little confused as to your question. To be historically accurate, you would probably want to leave the turret off completely. Paint it in red primer (Floquil railroad line makes a nice red oxide that looks as accurate as anything I've seen) and mark it up with lots of chalk scribbling. Put it on a base resembling a factory floor. Forget the kit turret unless you want to do a paper panzer build.
Another alternative would be to set up a scene in which you have the hull being mated with a late G turret by allied maintenance workers to replicate how it got to its current state.
