Hiding hole on SM tank crew?

Another wonderful post concerned with very little.

The SM tank accessory sprue has crew able to be put into the hatches, as i\'m sure you know.
It seems a waste not to use them, but the standing legs have this huge hole in front on them down into the tank, which will ruin the illusion that the tank actually _has_ an inside.
Has anyone managed to find a way of blocking this hole successfully? I\'ve had a bit of a browse, and have seen no photos of a tank taken from the right angle...

I considered a simple view block, painted black, but the hole is large enough that that would be obvious. And also would show the legs ending mid-thigh, same as if the hole was left open.
And the idea of lots of pouches, junk etc would be rather untidy.
I\'m open to suggestions, if not particularly imaginative/able sometimes...
 
Ive not really noticed this.. in all honesty once everythings been painted and put together..its so dark in their you cant really see anything in the shadows.

You could build the rest of the turret ring and add a lower set of legs to the commander. Ive seen this done befor too especially on land raiders where you can look inside and see the commander.
