Hi David,

I am going to put a simple foam pad covered in synthetic leather on the base and the same on the back rest. I really don't know how the original would have been constructed, the only picture of the interior that I can find, that I know has the original components still in it, doesn't show enough detail to copy. I have found pictures of drivers seats in other marks on Panzers but even those do not seem to be consistent. As for wriggle room, there's bugger all, especially if you consider the drive shaft across your shins. I am 5ft 11" and when the turrets on, getting in is going to be fun, I would hate to have to try and get out in an emergency. I think tank crew must be a special breed.

Jon
