Cut out the drivers hatch today. I bought me a dremmel for £10! cutting it out was pritty easy. I cleaned up all the edges with a razor blade, and to change the angle to the open posistion, I just heated the hatch and carefuly bent it. Once happy i reattached it to the tank and made good the joins.

Also made a driver today as well, Though he was a little trickier as theres not alot of room in the front of the t-34. He started out as a piolet figure I stole from my son. He was then decapitated and lost his legs. I used the spare head i got from a Tamiya figure and stuck that on instead. I dremmeled off all the flight gear and made half a drivers hat from blue tac ( had to chop his head a bit to make him fit).
