today you are going to correct the position of the commander’s cupola.
What´s wrong with it?
As you can see on the next picture, the cupola opens, according to a watch, to 2 o´clock direction, in driving direction.
The cupola on the HL opens to 4 o´clock position.
So we have to change the position.
First you have to remove the cupola.
Be careful, it is glued.
Now you have two possibilities.
Buy a new metal one or adjust the old one.
If you buy a new one, mount it in the right position.
Maybe you need a little adjustment with it.
Take care, that the observation slit shows in driving position.
That´s it.
If you use the old plastic one, you definitely need to do some adjustment.
Just turning the cupola into the right position is not enough.
Why? Because the observation slits are now in the wrong position.
Cut of the upper part of the cupola, carefully.
As better you do as less adjusting you need.
Grind both cutting edges.
Glue the lower part to the turret in the old position, slit showing in driving position.
Glue the upper part back to the lower part with hatch opening to 2 o´clock position.
Finished? No.
One more thing.
Add the hatch stop.
To make one is really simple. Just watch.

Now you are finished.
