Re: [ICE]monkeys 1/6 panzer IV
spent today working on the mg mount , ive modified the mount so its fully movable just like the real mount , this was done by removing the moulded bolts and replacing with ba10 bolts ,i also pinned the mount where it fits to the cupola and threaded the pinch bolt so it can be positioned anywhere on the cupola

Re: [ICE]monkeys 1/6 panzer IV
I have just ordered some armorpax parts. I saw the mg mount but thought being white metal it might be a bit bendy and weak. How do you rate it. Certainly a lot cheaper than the Mike Stannard part and you have done a great job on it. I'm cheating on my Turret bin. Sending the parts to Steve winstone to be reworked.

i think the armorpax mount should hold up to the job, but my armoured mg 34 is the plastic one , and for the price its worth a go

Re: [ICE]monkeys 1/6 panzer IV
Very impressed and very sorry about Blitzkrieg Armour. What was the price of the kit ? One of my favorites is the the PIV..
Cheers.
