If I had taken delivery of parts in that condition I think I would have had a head fit, so well done for persevering with it. One way to solve the turret misalignment is to get some food wrap and milliput.
Put a bead around the top and bottom halves, then place a sheet of food wrap between them and clamp them together. Leave a couple of days to dry out and then separate them. Remove the food wrap and clamp them back together again, they will be a perfect fit.
All you then need to do is sand the outside surfaces down all the way around while they are clamped. The inside may end up looking a bit rough but the outside will look factory fresh. It's not something that anyone should need to do on new parts, they have got a bit of a cheek sending out goods in that state, reminds me of the early Hooben T55's?
Looking forward to seeing this as it progresses.
