I made the shell ejection hatch operational.

I pryed the fitting off the turret. Using very small drill bits I drilled out the corners of the the hinges. I also drilled a hole through the hinge to accept the pivot.

With a #11 Blade I scored the plastic until the hatch sperated from the hinge.

A bit of clean up with a file, and Iused a bit of wire to act as a pin.

The purpose of doing this was to provide a placetoputthe switch forthe high voltage flash and sound unit.

To keep the hatch shut I recessed a small area just forward of the opening and CA'd a small Rare Earth magnet.

With a grinding bit in the Dremel, I hollowed out a small depression in the hatch. I changed over to a cut off wheel in the Moto-Tool and cut the tip off of an old Tiger metal axel. This was then CD'd intoplace so that the magnet would catch the hatch and hold it shut.
