I don't want to open a huge can of worms, but as standard the Panther was fitted with 2 identical machine guns with armoured barrels, one in the ball mount, the other co-axial with the main gun. The one on the cupola makes 3. If you mount an armoured MG on the cupola, then that would mean omitting the ball gun, usually used by the radio operator. Who is to say that enterprising tank commanders did not obtain a 3rd gun for the cupola?

Today I received the wheels I was looking after so long for my Panther. These are Asiatam metal wheels, extremely rare! :crazy:

Eddy almost a shame to paint it. It's so cool looking in its current "mechanical" condition. Quite beautiful
