I didn't hinge the top of the KV-2 turret. Instead I created a lip on the inside of the turret and put velcro on the lip which allows the turret top to be completely removed by pulling on the the scale ladder rungs used by the crew to climb up on the turret. Ladder rungs were made from a metal coat hanger. I also used this method to attach the top deck plates of the hull. I just don't like dealing with hinges and it still allows for full access to the interior of the turret and hull.
