Morning all,

Couldn't find any GOOD photos of a split TC's hatch from the inside, it's just such a plain old thing, I guess I never photo'd it! I did post a couple of photos on Ron's site at: http://rongeorge.com/modules/Gallery/upload?page=16

They show the outside of the hatch and its hold open latches, a good photo of some applique armor and a veiw into the turret through the TC's split hatch which shows the ring lock and such.

Hope this helps a LITTLE Blush [:I]

Ron

Much the same on my end with the hatch ... I know I have something somewhere but can't seem to put my finger on it.

The one side has the periscope and that's about it. The other half has a headache pad in the center, a hnadle for pulling the hatch shut in one corner, and a latch for locking it done in the other corner.

Here's some more pictures. These were taken last week and since then I have added some more figures and stuff. The next photos you see from me it will be done.

I have to say this has been my best build and quickest considering the amount of aftermarket and extra stuff I've added and I owe it all to you guys & gals.
It's not done yet, so if you see anything that I might improve apon, let me know.

Trevor Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?
