The Trumpeter Strv 103C kit comes with 2 identical rear bins. I've seen Cs with a different right rear bin that is not as deep and has a flat bottom. What configuration is the norm or are both acceptable?
Thanks,

The B-version of the Strv 103 had rear bins made of steel plate.
These where more squared and not so deep.
The C-version had plastic bins and they where rounder in shape and deeper.
Compare the bins in the Trumpeter Strv 103B kit.
Sometimes one tank could have one steel bin and one plastic bin.
These bins where often destroyed when reversing the tank and was then replaced with what the mecanics had at hand.
