Can anyone tell me what The feature is in the bishop turret that looks like a chute? I'm building the Bronco kit and it pivots up. What is the purpose of this?
Thanks

I built this kit, and as far as I can tell it's a ramp and it pivots up to provide access to the ammunition stored underneath. I replaced the cross piece with a wire as the thin plastic rod broke, but damned how you are going to see that nicely finished ammo stack once it's finished - even with those rear doors wide open!

A ramp? That's a little weird. Maybe the crew slid down into their positions like on Thunderbirds!!😆
