OMG......

Between the Saukopf mantlet and the superstructure, there is quite a gap.
On my Taigen StuG I solved that with a tarpulin on top of the superstructure to cover that gap

On this HL StuG I wanted it different.
1. Because I like the look of the Saukopf
2. I already have one StuG with a tarp.

[Rob59]

So I went this way:
Bent 3 pieces of thin metal wire to fit the gap

[Rob59]

Stick the wire into cardboard

[Rob59]

Glue some cotton onto the bend sides



And than you get this

[Rob59]

Checking fittment.....

[Rob59]

Normally I make the cotton wet, so you can fold it much better.
Because I had to glue it first, I couldn't make it wet before folding.
I had to do it after the glue dried up.
Than it looks like this

[Rob59]

The cotton is still moveable.
Will be secured after the StuG has been painted.
Here an overal pic....



CU soon guys.
Cheers, Rob
