The turret is all styrene . I had a few attempts with cardboard templates and two with styrene until I was happy .The combat Ostwind turrets had a anti shell trap around the bottom and foliage loops .

More rear end detail. The flakpanzers have extra horizontal bars in the engine air intakes, I added these and working shutters . But being as I couldn't get any 1:16 tread plate I left them down . Also the transmission vents have two vertical bars fitted
