The Window on the front hull, is for the driver to see out of when the flotation screen is used. :/
You need to revisit the rotation ring, if you leave it as it is, you will damage the turret rotation motor. :thumbup:

Harry you are 99% correct, however the outer edges will need a bit of massaging with a tiny application of a heat gun to be perfect.
