 Subject:  13. DumperList thread.  
  
 Date:  Apr 21, 2006
 From:  Kazutaka YOKOTA 
Since the first ausf E 3 in 1 kit, DML depicts the dumper as shown in the photo below. I am not quite sure if this is good rendition of the thing. Dumpers of existing Pz. IVs and photos in various reference books mostly look like these.

As shown, these dumpers are somewhat shorter than the kit part. The only photo of the dumper which resembles the kit part is this.

I am undecided if I would shorten the kit part... What do you think?
