I have both a Panzer 4 and an mg34 what I need is a cupola mount for the mg and no I am not interested in the AA mount which was not a fitting on the H model in North Africa, well at least I do not think it was? shaun

I have been sitting here waiting for the correspondance to finally stop. So I guess no one knows. I went on line and found a nice series of photographs of an MG34 BIPOD and scratch built my own. but I still do not know what an MG34 cupola mount for an early Panzer 4 looks like.

Hi jarndice...
Sorry for delay , had to fix my photobucket account. The only pictures I have in my collection is from a late model Pnz IV . I am not sure if this
was fitted to early models , perhaps the experts will advise you on that ?
hope that helps .
Gordo .

Gordo, thank you for your hard work, I have yet to see an early mount and as you say these pictures are of a later model but until I am shown something different I might just go along with it, It would appear to follow the form of the later AA mount so a bit of creative work with a file should be job done. yet again thanks. shaun
