TURRET DOORS

Post by Graham Ord »

What is the part just forward and below the turret door, is it a grab handle, door open holder, or even an ariel base?

Hello Graham

That is a door latch to keep the doors open. there isnt one for the rear door. Dave Dibbs of Amorpax does them as well as the doors and door periscopes.They are very good.

Hi Graham

Here's some pictures of it with the hatch open. Sorry they are not the best as I was more focused on the hatch door details themselves.

It almost looks like it has a plunger so it locks the hatch in place when in the open position.
