kv-2 turret print

[RobW]

Looking at the line drawing above and the one in AFV Plans I wonder if the split rear hatch is someone misinterpreting the line denoting the angle as a split? That and not expecting anyone to bolt the main loading hatch shut......

i have asked my friend, he's a researcher and historian for WWI and WWII armoured and wheeled vehicles and he confirmed the plate is completely bolted and fixed into the back. did a lot of digging to confirm this. sooo. im just gonna make the print into a detachable plate.

Giganaut,
Solid research and yay! for detail parts that are detachable! (makes em' more detailed ;o)

do they sell those tiny tiny bolts? all i can do is print with the bolt holes and i am afraid if i printed with the "bolt" pegs it might bend and flex when its printing.

Giganaut,
They certainly do sell scale hardware. Adding the little bolts to the hatch is doable. ;o)
