Hi Brel, thanks mate . Ive just fitted the splash guards around the front hatches . I shaved of the HL ones and replaced them with later style ones made from styrene strips with milliput welds.

Ive added the barrel/mantlet with gas detector mount (thanks Mart) , selfdefence weapon , aiming vanes , rear tow points and late style front lifting points.

Looking really good Andy. That mantlet is a huge improvement over the stock HL one.
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris, Thanks for your comments . Your not wrong mate . I was eager to fit it . However its not fitted with recoil
. But its a very good fit , it went streight on . Ive got another HL Pz.IV to do its the F2 but Im still going to swap the barrel and possibly fit the recoil into that one .
