Thank you noticing that! I made the stops from scrap plastic and added some other small details on there. I saw the new Taigen/HL Tiger 1 turrets are so much better in terms of detail, they all have that detail (I doubt the spring though) but they do have the Tamiya looking hatch stop "arms" and the lifting lugs on the sides are the correct shape now too. I do regret not fixing those but I just missed them.

TANK COMMANDER, About 95% of the builds on this Forum are 1/16, when "He who must not be named" was on this site we used to get a lot more 1/35 but now apart from the odd 1/18 staff car or truck or artillery piece or aircraft it is almost exclusively 1/16.

:haha: I quite agree which is why I go with 1/18 scale people cause I can't paint people worth a poop. ;)
