Hi! What does the crew usually put in these storage bins of the T-34? Does anyone had pics of the bin in open position? Thanks!

Which bins do you mean? The ones on the fenders held the crew's tools.

Sorry for not informing earlier. Yep, those bins on the fenders. By tools, what do you mean? Shovels, cleaning rods, jacks?

I don't know which specific tools, although I'd bet that teh one on the left forward fender held gun-cleaning rods. The others must have held small tools such as wrenches etc. They are much too small to hold jacks or pioneer tools (shovel, ax, pick). The early T-34 had two hydraulic jacks on the right rear fender; later ones didn't have any as far as I can tell.
