There are some members who have pics of what they've done. Here is a link to a description of one way it's done. including pics-

Great googly Moogly. That's a lot of effort. If I tried that It would end up with the Turret too far forward, looking like a T-34 Tiger. :haha:

It would. Now I have " Burning Bridges" going through my Head. To be honest, I'm thinking of doing a tiger tank in the Colors of the movie version.

You can pull my leg all you like. That is where I drew the line.

Funny no one mentions 3D printing this mod instead of hack and slashing your way through it.

I have ZERO desire to do "that" much.
If you go to HL Builds you should find details on how to correct the Turret failing, It includes the measurements so all you need is a piece of paper to make a template which you transfer to the tanks upper hull then mark and cut, An easier job is the join between the front fender and the side fender, there should be a visible gap between them, easy fix, just draw a saw blade between the two.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Thanks, yes I saw it before Thano's snapped his fingers and the pics disappeared.

Not for me. To each his own.
