I noticed in the Takom kit there is an option for "open" or "closed" holes on each side of the main gun. Could someone please furnish more details? Yes, I'm using this tank for 1962 USSR forces.

Hi Tom;
I Mite be wrong, but I think they are refering to the co-ax m.g. and the siteing aperture thats on the left. They Both could be pluged closed so as to ford river's !
CHEERS; MIKE.

I figured they might also be closed up in inclement weather when they are not expecting to have to use the gun right away. Unless the covers are difficult to remove quickly.
