      Again, you're asking about something that isn't in anyone's hands yet. Best answers to your questions can be found on the listing posted in the "rumors" thread.

      The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

        Oups i scrolled down to fast one pictures on ALiExpressModelBank Store that confirm the hatches are openable.
        look is going to be difficult to put a 1:16 american tankist in there!!

        fastest full circle topic ever!

          Rich Johnson put two crew in his M5 from Classy Hobby.

            Mmm, no ''bar'' in the middle that seperate the space between the two hatches?
            Is the picture represent the final product or early prototypes?
            We need acuracy in our business; what the point of openables hatches if not historically acurate!
            Minus for CoolBank on this, from my humble view,
            No real picture to submit but the class hobby tank of Mr.Johnson reveal the genuity of authenticity.
            I think will let the hatches closed; just to exacerbate the cramped environnement for the crew!

              Looking at period or restoration pictures online, I see single turret hatches and split turret hatches with no bar. Is it possible Coolbank modeled a type with no bar? If not, a styrene strip would remedy the omission.

                That was pretty much my thoughts.
