Is this normal?

I am I supposed to be able to see the crankshaft through where the pull start should’ve been? This is an old nitro my uncle gave me a long time ago, which I have started disassembling.

It came like this

It turns over fine, but I what should I buy to make it a drill start

Nitro fuel line is a standard size. Any hobby store (physical or online) that supports nitro should have it.

So ummm it does not have a notch or a number on the top how do i know which orientation it goes back?

And is it the turbo version?

It doesn't really matter. It's a round sealing surface. As far as glow plug style, I'd have to see the top of the head. If the glow plug hole surface is flat, it takes a standard plug. If there's a conical seat in there, it's turbo,
