Default Driver's Hatch Spring

Your model of an Ic looks very good Dave.

In looking at the driver's hatch in the image Gord posted above, I see a periscope guard mounted on it. When combined with other features on the tank, I'm of the opinion that this is probably a rebuilt tank.

As the hatch is in the open position and not laying flat, it also indicates to me that it has an external spring. Would that spring lay flat against the hatch in the open position, or would it be at an angle to it?

Cheers,

Chris
