Pz IV engine deck slope

Post by HERMAN BIX »

Lads, plenty of pics & descriptions etc of the correction of the H/L PzIV engine deck from flat to correct slight slope, but its hard to quantify.
Can any one give us all, and me by default, a measurement that defines how much to slope the engine deck, and at what point does it start to slope. ?
Colour slides and other pictures don't quite show it.
Cheers

If you have a look here

and scroll down, there are some plans of of the Panzer IV, which you may well be able to scale up. The slope is readily visible. Alternatively, there is this
