I have posted in other forums and hope I'm not being a pain. Completed my first model about a week ago after about 5 years. I got the bug real good and want to improve. I picked up the PT109 1:72 kit (always wanted to build it) I'm doing my research and orderd a 37mm anti-tank gun to upgrade the deck. While I'm waiting on it to arrive

I started cleaning the deck up and want to remove the deck hatches, blocked front windows and windshild and replace them with opened deck hatches and plastic windows and windshiled. Never scratched built and don't know a thing right now about working with PE. The 37mm gun is coming from another kit at the same scale and I will modifiy it to fit the deck. It is all in plastic.

I know to use my dremel tool to cut. What would you recomend on how to remove the deck hatches? Should I salvage them once removed or build new ones, I have posted some photos of the deck.

Any help would be great.

Sam
