Heya, Folks,

Does anyone have any interior turret pix of Japanese tanks? That or pix of a build with turret detail?

I'm building the Fine Molds Type 5 Chi-Ri and want to model it with the hatches open --- wanted to throw in a little detail behind the open hatches just in case anything is visible.

The breech looks great, just curious about any other details that I might be able to add. Don't really have a clue as to how the Japanese turrets were outfitted.

Thanks in advance, folks!!

With Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

Holy cow, thanks guys, these are perfect!!!!!!! Definitely enough info in the pictures to allow me to fake some of the detail in the Type 5 --- just looking to make enough to be visible through the open hatches.

Much Appreciated Artyon and Al --- and if you are celebrating, have a Merry Christmas!
