Marco, thank you so much for providing that sketch and measurements. Am assuming the width of the machine gun mound includes the weld bead?
So we have:
- total glacis width (at narrowest point) 52 + 410 + 817 = 1279mm
scale @ 1/35 = 36.54mm
kit part = 35.4mm ... so glacis kit part is short by 1.14mm
- mg mound width (plus weld bead) = 410mm
scale @ 1/35 = 11.7mm
kit part = 12.2mm ... so not that bad, only 0.5mm too wide
- distance of mound to glacis edge = 817mm
scale @ 1/35 = 23.34mm
kit measurement = 20.5 mm ... so mound has to be moved over by about 2.84mm
Some time tomorrow will draw up a new glacis on the computer to see if the markings fit better. Again thanks very much for this.
regards,
Jack
