Hi all, I hope this has not been dicussed before. If it was: sorry, I didn't find it. I allways wondered why some Mark V had the louvres at the side and others don't. Then the idea crossed my mind that it depends on the point of view at the tank. Does anyone know why the louvres were only at one side? Regards Ch...
