Yeah, I think so. Looks like it's the PZB200:

Seems like there are a few differences in the protective cages for it, though.

Started to scratch build the PZB200 and frame work for the leopard.

Got the basic shape of the camera and the mounts done. Working on the cage frame now. Tricky little buggar...

Removed some old mounting brackets and parts not needed for a Greek version.

Had two odd return rollers, probably from a Sherman or something, totally wrong.

Looked in my spare parts box and result - two left over from my 2A6 build! With caps! On they go :D

Thanks chaps :D

Spent some time this afternoon swearing at the door for the pzb...

Managed to hinge the buggar - found a spare 1/16 hinge from my old M16 half track and used scale bolts to hold the hinge in place.
