Didn't some Soviet Tanks have the cupola hinge at the front, so the commander could use it as a shield?

Taken some suggestions and put them into the design.

This is great fun

Might need another rivet or 2 more - what do you think?

Cheers

You'd think that the noise of all those guns firing at the same time in such a small enclosed space would make the rider deaf. Of course, that would never stop an Ork, or anybody in powered armor. Anyway, that's just too many guns. perhaps a single twin-linked gun to the front and a fixed gun to the rear. (Grot gunner or very simple machine spirit.) Just my opinion.

Someone hit the nail on the head before I could log back in and reply with why the front hinges!

The earlier T34 models, the T54/55, T62, T72, and T80 all had at least one forward opening hatch that was a partial shield.

I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.

Still don't like the idea of the front hinged opening, on a tank it makes sense but on an enclosed bike

You have to remember this is for the riders head, so this would have no use what so ever except blocking his line of vision as for the T34 it shielded the tankers body and they looked over the top of the hatch.

On the bike this is only for his head to see out of

Spoiler:



But Hannibal doesn't have a t-34 hatch to hide behind? It's all wrong!

If asked, I agree that the hatch/gunshield might be a little trickier to pull off on 2 wheels.
But I also know 2 things: Kit will come up with gold and no one asked me!
