I managed to pry it off and found that the older version of the Leman Russ had a separate ring that was glued to the base of turret - which has the tabs that fit into the slots on the hull the allow the turret to remain attached, but till rotate freely - it was glued on upside down so the tabs were inside the turret!? I actually managed to carve this off and flip it so now I have an operating turret.

In fact when I got it the turret was glued down the the hull. So the tracks are a bit messed up at the back and there are a few other things that don't quite match up. I bought it off eBay ages ago already assembled. Tanks are easy, though, so I finished up this Leman Russ tank that's been haunting the edges of may painting desk for far too long. Screwy head and lack of focus made working on them a little difficult. I haven't managed to finish up the Shadespire minis.
