That should be about right Jt....You can also get a good estimate by using the storage tub mounted on the side of the tank ;)

I always thought that the storage tube on the Panzer IV was for the gun barrel cleaning rods, no?

Hi Joe, The stowage of the main gun cleaning rods is dependent on the PZ4 sub type but they were commonly stacked on the right rear flank(looking from the front)the aerial stowage was incorporated on the centre Tank body behind the aerial because every time the turret was in use if the aerial was not stowed it would have been torn out,Different sub types had different locations for one or more aerials but the model in question is right. hope that helps. :thumbup: shaun

Shaun, I was hoping you'd see this and respond. I knew I would get an education if you did. You are quite the Gentleman my friend, thank you.
