any chance we can have a closer look at the turret hatch ? it6 should be moulded in 2 parts like the HL but you may be right it being taigen it might be just the one mould. i managed to get my hl hatch off with a sharp knife working it all the way round. So rather than you breaking it it may well be better leaving alone. As for skills they come with time. I'm certainly nowhere near the expertise of the rest of the folks in here but i try anything ! as for A.D.D what's that ? remember we are all here to help each other. Any bits/advice you need. this is the place to ask. I just scrounged an mg42 from Tankmad for nothing ! These guys are the best !

good luck whatever you do.
ps where do you get the hydrogen peroxide ? is it the stuff for dyeing hair cos i'd like to try that ?

Doc, I can see a seem where is should come apart, but believe it may have been glued. Hydrogen Peroxide can be bought at any drug store here in Canada. It is the same stuff used to die hair, but is also good for cleaning out cuts

Paul, if you do want to turn the cupola with out damaging it why not use a debonder? I use Z-7 also called ZAP-7, brush the seam on the inside of the cupola and on the seam on the outside, it may need a few applications but it will remove the super glue holding it. it is an American product so you should have no difficulty getting hold of it, A WARNING, DO REMOVE ALL TRACES OF THE DEBONDER ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED WITH IT!!!!! I have used the stuff for some time, it is very useful when stripping down a Tank in preparation for fitting upgrades. shaun

PS Some debonders are only for removing superglue from skin?? you don't need that so do make sure you get the right stuff. shaun

Thanks for the info. Hopefully I can buy that here or at least something like it.

Commander's hatch fixed. Took a little bit to do because it was glued in place. Working on the chains for the filters.

Its all Doc's fault.. I swear...he started it. I tried to leave it alone, but every time i looked at it, it was bothering me more and more.
