I think they have tried to reproduce that hatch, but got the hinges wrong. You can see in the model render that they have the MG mount in the centre of the roof instead of on the left like on the Jagdpanzer 38 (compare to the command version), and there are hinges and faintly visible hatch outlines to the left of the MG. However, Takom’s hatch seems to have a front half that hinges to the left side instead of forward like your photo shows.

Looking at it ah\gain, I think you might be right that they have made an attempt at the correct roof. Hopefully some better photos will appear on the WWW soon. It looks a nice little model.

ICM have announced that their 2024 catalogue will br available soon

With what seems to be a UH-60 on the front

Not real news in itself - but how many makers still expect you to pay for their catalogue? I know Airfix charge aound £10 for theirs............................
I can see that pre-internet, that was essential - but now?

On the Copper State Model Facebook page -

.......and apologies for the late introduction of the model!!

My last post in this thread for 2023 - I hope 2024 will reveal some intriguing models, aside from the usual avalanche of Panthers, Fw 190s,Tigers, Hurricanes, Stugs, Leopards in all scales...............
