Hi Trev
Just an up date on the tank,Just been working on the loader,s hatch the kit ones to thin

and detail is not there it should be three times as deep with a cut out for the locking handle and 5 holding bolts it"s come out quiet well.I think it"s like that to match the turret roof armor thickness.i"ll get some photos of it for you,if you want to do the same

,Best Regards...Brian
