@williamatics I’m not a military hardware expert, but from what I can tell, the hatches on these things seem to be pretty much EXACTLY the size for a human to fit into them:

That’s an M1 Abrams tank; going from the size of the hatches on your model, I would say it’s similar in size to an M1.  If that’s the case I think perhaps your grab-handles might be a little too thick.

For seeing outside the tank, the M1 has a few different things.  The commander’s machine-gun position (the sticky-uppy turret next to the main hatch) has these windows all the way around it for seeing out if that hatch must be closed:

And there’s also these periscopes:

The upper one is used by the gunner to aim the big gun, and the lower set is used by the driver.  The upper periscope has these armored doors that can be closed over it to protect it, but the lower ones I guess must just be made of really thick glass.
