Which MG???????????????? ...............

Dunno Kiaser....if you look at this photo...your hatches are OK

Two more shots that confirm the side opening hatches


in other photos I found...it looks like the hatches opened sideways as a provision for the machine gun

This is the only one I could find that has the forward opening hatch...notice...no mount for the machine gun
It does look like a more contemporary photo as well...so I guess it would depend on how you are building your model...vintage or modern

ALPHA

PS. If you notice...on the modern Js2...the headlight is on the right...on the vintage shots..it's on the left

[ALPHA]

Sorry mate this is BS here look at the box art . 1/16 not impressed even GUP building is better than this und panzer forgivable if it was meant to spin well why not do it .

Here's a GUP paint scheme you could wrap your arms around

Are you sitting down Mr A ..... well in development with a brilliant designer Luis the JS2 and WW 2 soviet Dushka

Exclusive for your eyes ALPHA first one take a look today is a good day sweeeeeeeeeet finally

Cool...a clear gun...you going to put some kind of lighting to it? I know my Metalizer would hide the light where you don't need it and just have the tip
blaze the color of the Led

Hey, a bit more research on the subject:

http://www.missing-lynx.com/articles/ru ... /amtis.htm

I know it's a model but it shows the correct positioning of the gun just to the right of the periscope block hatch

This one shows an is2 with the AA gun facing backwards. So I'm thinking the mount sits on the swivelling bit of the cupola.

Where did it come from? Do you have a link?

Thanks ALPHA exactly what this pic shows off to your left the mount looking at the pic showing hatch in forward and rear position as per fixed Tamiya position .

The light position K! Look at the light.............

Mighty big machine gun...

just working out what to do it is a big unit the copula hatch's should rotate 360 degrees Mr A after Speaking to Tom .

Most of the pictures show the hatches used in the position of left and right of the copula the other alternative is just to sit it off to the right side of the copula in the not in use position .

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....So what was the problem again?
Sounds like the hatch deal is all sorted out

Yes I agree the Russians made cannons it is massive , The message is quite clear do not hide behind tree trunks

Dunno....not sure they could swing that thing without hitting a tree on a narrow path
