I am building this Dragon kit and have a question about the front hatches. They have a lot of small recessed holes in them and looking at pictures of panther tanks I don’t see those. Anyone know if all these little holes should be there? Or should I fill them?
Thanks Fernando. Yes I was confident about the handles. Just all the other little holes that seemed a bit odd. But yes I see they are in that drawing you sent.
Surprisingly difficult to find a decent image showing these holes. I suspect that many restored museum pieces have replacement hatches due to the fact that the original hatches were blown off and therefore lack the holes.
Nice - thanks for the picture! That is clear then!
I have one problem with this 6168 kit - the sprue M is missing the machine gun from the front. I read on another forum someone else who had the same problem. It seems that Dragon got some sprues mixed up with kit 6358. I have sent Dragon a Facebook Messenger message asking for a new sprue but no response yet.
