The files Tom has did include the split hatch, but it is modeled closed. I found an opening split hatch on Cults, but since it was someone else's tank I went ahead and printed it. I think I would use this one since it also opens and seems to be more correct:

Ah didn't see that! Silly me. Did you find the barrel is too short?

I'm going for the mato metal one as it was £7 from AliExpress and should should resist my clumsy handling a bit better

Ohhhh here we go. This is exactly what I'd want for this tank. You're gonna do such a nice job that I'm gonna want to take it off your hands :thumbup: This would be a perfect candidate for the black basing I just adopted.

You're too kind!

I've always thought black basing would work well on 1/16.

This was the last one I did so aiming for something similar!Image

I printed the barrel from the kit for the person in my club. I guess I really didn't pay attention to the length as it wasn't my tank. I guess if it was mine I would've done a little more research... :D
