Default RE: Progress on my sherman.

Okay, Wight, I have a question about your method of drilling the holes for the levers on the filler caps. The angle looks awkward and very close to the armor around the turret ring. I don't know of a drill bit that is small enough and long enough to drill them using a power drill, so the spinning chuck of the drill would hit the hull. It seems like it would be the same when trying to drill out the hinges on the hatches-too close. What are you using? I can imagine just turning the drill bit with your fingers would work fine since it is plastic, but it would be difficult to make straight holes. [] Is there a hand tool that you are using to hold the bit?

Thanks!
Chad
