Nice you figured that out. You are rather confident, bonding the servo in, eh? ;)
The holes on the mount are in an awkward position though. Not easy to use when the servo is mounted.

Hehe, that’s the beauty of the 3 bolts holding the turret base, undo them & the servo is in your hand

There you go. The pins still need trimming and supergluing before final fit, this is just first fit to get the angle/position right.

they also need a touch of sanding/filling :{

That bulky turret with all its accoutrements really captures the iconic Chieftain look, Alwyn. Awesome work!
