| Subject: | Tristar Pz IVD a weld too far? |  |
| Date: | Jul 8, 2005 |
| From: | Andrew Johnson | |
Dear Fellow modellers
I've noticed that on what appears to be a wonderful new PzIVD model from Tristar (see PMMS and AFV modeller) that they have a weld fillet where the oval gun assembly joins the mantlet. I've looked at several period photos of Pz IVDs but cannot see this weld. In contrast the armoured housing for the co-ax MG was welded to the mantlet. It looks like the main gun was tightly fitted into the mantlet, and was perhaps attached by bolts behind the mantlet?
What do you think?
