Re: Up Armoured Pershing
That robbed mantlet armour is a neat touch mate, should look a treat once done

Re: Up Armoured Pershing
Thank you, gentleman ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
Carl, you know I couldn’t leave the hobby completely lol
Herman, got a plan for the mantlet to be in camo like a Panther would have had. Let’s see.
Roy, hoping to add a couple of Schumo details to it as well, nice quick and easy build. Something different too.

Re: Up Armoured Pershing
Cut the edges off the mantlet armour so the Driver and MG hatches can still open.
Played about with the fitting of the glacis plates so I can still remove the hull for access.
You will notice the cut outs for the lights - Super Pershings had the lights removed or moved, being different I wanted to keep them.
Its good to see the unusual, gives one ideas

Re: Up Armoured Pershing
Doing some great and original work on this, Adam. Nicely conceived and executed turret basket. Plaudits!
