HI guys,

Anyone has photos of the small chain details for the hatch-lock & pin (I think). It's located on the hull, behind of the driver's hatch.
Also the same details for the "Doghouse" hatch. such as those on the Kasman, Meshupar and Moaz.

I would like to add the little chain details for the M113s I'm building from Blast-models' Nagman I and Nagman II, and Legend's Ksaman kit.

thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick
If the lock is the same that the one used on other M113s, then these pictures may help :

A Danish one on Tanxheaven :

Thank you Henri, that's exactly what I need. The lock and pin looks like an easy scratch build, now I just need to add my aber tiny chains.

my friend,
Nick
