I just sold the 'D' sprue for that model to a member here. That one has the front and rear panels on it, but I can't recall if it also included the hatches. You could fabricate them, of course, that would be a decent solution (make them from styrene...the hinges can be bought from Asiatam) or, as has been suggested modify existing ones. :thumbup:
Got the job done by shortening and widening the metal PIV hatches.

Thank you for the compliments gents.

Next stop: installing the recoil unit into an adaption kit that is actually designed for a fixed barrel.

Already prepared the barrel liner setup.
