Thanks, me as well as I hope all the barrel elevation, recoil, and turret rotation bits will work inside of it.

Thank you for the link, looks like hopefully minor mods on the turret for recoil, etc. I am going to use as much of the full option kit as possible and the bare minimum from this static kit.

the mechanical set of the Henschel can be used, of course, but with adaptations, there is nothing like original parts... where does the link provide, which can be a possible solution? there are others!!! certainly

Ended up doing a halfway decent tutorial on working with this ATAK Zimmerit.
