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.

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

Stick the wire into cardboard

Glue some cotton onto the bend sides



And than you get this

Checking fittment.....

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

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



CU soon guys.
