You know me and fenders: As far as I'm concerned, they didn't last 5 minutes off the dealer lot.

Just roughly hacked off for now, will be cleaned up the mud covered after I finalized how I'm connecting the upper hull. I originally thought I was going stock since this is a lift off turret and the battery can be removed through the hole like the Tiger I, but after fitting it, there's no clean plate in the front to connect like the Tiger. The JS-2 split is right down the middle of a weld and it's not a tight fit. I tried shimming it, but still it's prone to shifting, so I went with a rear pivot, front magnet approach. Just have to wait for things to set before I can finish.
