Kv1 mantlet question.

Post by Scarecrow »

Evening gents.

I picked up an early issue heng long kv1 last month and whilst I'm waiting for the ztz bits I melted to be replaced I've started pulling it apart.

Pulled the red led out of the mantlet and I can see annoyingly that needs filling and a new hole drilling to the left of the top bolt.

My question is this, is that the gunners site or turret mg?

Any ideas?

the LED is where the gunners sight was , the coaxial MG is a small hole on the other side-
