I have a tamiya T-55 waiting to be built, and I'm intending to build it as a finnish army T-55, and there's only one problem with the kit, the loader's hatch is only offered for a T-55 with an AA-mg or a T-55A. The T-55's hatch with the mg is incorrect as the finnish T-55's didn't have the mg. And the T-55A hatch is also wrong because it has a radiation cover in it. So, the easiest option is to scratchbuild it (I'm no going to pay for a full resin update-set just to use one hatch!), so I ask if any one knows any pages, with good photos or drawings of the original T-55 loader's hatch.
Any help will be appreciated.
