I see now that the inside of the hatches were painted the same color as the base color of the tank, with the periscopes and center of the commander's cupola being painted black.
That makes things easier on that count.
Now I am down to whether or not to base coat the tank with the red color.

I am glad that huge thread helped you. I am a very lucky guy to have been able to see all those great machines and even get inside a few at Bovington with Martin, Dennis (who I got to battle with during his surprise trip to Danville past weekend...WOW) & Steve.
I hope to see many more and take even more pix on my return trip to the EU leaving tomorrow...my kids are VERY excited to see more WW II sites.
The wife....not so much????????
I thing she will be at the beach with suntan oil while Martin and I and navigating Pont du Hoch & the Omaha Beach Museum.
