I am building a Panther, and on Tamiya's instruction sheet (the photos) the front driver's and radio operator's hatches have handles/handholds, but on one page, they are in a different position than the other page.

When the hatches are closed, are the handholds to the front or rear of the hatch.. the Tamiya instructions shows them in both positions and I have been looking on the web for a definitive answer and so far haven't found anything. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks.

I've had a quick look at my DML Panther A and the grab handles on the hatches are at the front of the hatches.

Thanks Peter, appreciate the help. I need to correct the error then, and I'll be ready to glue the upper and lower hulls together then and airbrush the baby. Its for the Ardennes Campaign and I'm a bit behind schedule, but its coming along nicely. I'll be posting pics soon of my progress. Its a pretty nice kit, some minor fitting problems, but nothing major.

Thanks again.
