working front hatch mainly as the new wsn tanks have a sealed hatch

i was thinking about backdateing a wsn t-34/85 to the earlier t-34/76 using the trumpeter turret parts,not sure how feasable this is thogh

the wsn t-34 is a copy / made at the same time as the trumpeter kit ... the early turret fits the turret ring ...if i remember right a chap in germany did the conversion .... and look ok ..... the idea was there the modelling was not ....

i dont know what ..but i thought the drivers hatch on the wsn t-34 was moveable ?? could be wrong ... it may be worth tapping imperial models in germany as steve may be able to supply the drivers hatch for an su-85/100 kit ?? hes done parts of the kits befour ..if you ask .. nice ....

Possibly you could use the string cutting method and cut out the hatches, add hinges?

Aleardy tried this to no avail. I believe you have no chance obtaining separate sprues from Trumpeter. :(

Ebay or online stores for spares is all I can think of. I have the static T34 76, if it has any spare parts i'll drop you a line.
