Tiger 1 Engine Access Hatch Details

Hey guys,

Been looking around but have had no joy, I'm trying to find some pics of the underside of a Mid-Production Tiger 1 Engine access hatch/cover. I've got the Tamiya one sized for the HL upper hull but I would like to detail the underside for when the hatch is open. Also, if anyone has a pic of the actual opening, I would imagine that there was a lip that would have went around the opening on the hull for the hatch to rest on. Thanks in advance.

Derek

The Tank Man did some work on opening engine hatch. He might be able to help.

Here's his build.
