Panzer II Turret

[johann mor]

The light is nicely dated 1940 so now that I have an original item, my Panzer must be an original...………...Not.

The container is a lot bigger than the lamp but apparently the lamp should have 6 meters of cable attached. I assume that this along with a plug would make it all a nice fit in container.

I will try, honest.

Evening,

I made the bracket that holds the magnetic light canister a nice little detail that needed making.

[johann mor]

Sorry about the quality of the pictures, I must try harder in future.

In the original tank between the brake drums there was an extraction pipe that was connected to the radiator cooling fan via hoses, the idea was that the suction caused by the fan, would draw heat and fumes from the brake drums.

I know in my vehicle none of this works but I made it because I wanted to.

Evening All,

I have managed to get the drive shaft cover finished. It took two attempts, as I decided that although the first design looked more in keeping with the original, it would have been a right pain had I had to take it apart for maintenance.

[airborne_steve]

Evening,

I have achieved bugger all this week, part from adding the floor supports in the crew compartment. The floor is raised to allow for services and a rotary connection that attaches to the commanders chair support.

[johann mor]

Something that I forgot to mention. I am looking for details, pictures of the munitions storage in a late Panzer ll Ausf C, but not with the MG34 saddles drum magazines with Gurtsacs. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I already have the Beladeplan dated 1938.

Do you have 651/9?

[johann mor]

No only D651/8, I couldn't find 651/9.

Jon

[johann mor]

Correction, D651/9, or parts there of, are contained in Panzer tracts 1-2 which I have. The only problem is it still shows the storage of saddle drum mags.
