Looks really great....except the cal 50 position...not on a Pershing! [:@]First tank to have it there was the M-46 and it has to be placed on the armored shield over the gunners periscope, not welding the post to the turret roof.[:-] . Only Pershing variant to place it there was the m-45.[>:] Pics showing style of armor shield and mounting bracket. Going to put on fender braces? Looks like you are going Korean War with 73 Tk Bn....the secondary periscopes for driver and BOG should be removed and "welded" over. This HL Pershing has the later, larger Rotoclone blower motor which eliminated the add'l scopes.[sm=cry_smile.gif]. If you are going WW II with the initial blower motor, (first batch of 50, I believe) plug up the rear hole on either side and try to dremmel the blower housing a little smaller and flatter in front and keep the scopes. The sand shields were mounted with 9/16" bolts and weren't cut off, so for realism, you may want to drill small holes in the outer edges of the track guards (fenders). Tank really looks good...just too clean.
