The fact that we are having a discussion on this project as to its authenticity is (I think) an acknowledgement of your extraordinary work Jonathan

Following this post has been inspiring, from the exacting workmanship to the in-depth research I can hardly wait to see the end product. To that end any markings that clearly state that the vehicle is a reproduction will assist future generations in determining its provenance.

It seems strange that we are having a conversation regarding how to mark my little Panzer so in the future people will know that it is a replica. It's very flattering but but I find it hard to believe that someone would recognise it for anything other than what it is.
So the next installment. I think that it's always the same, some of the smaller items take the longest to make and so it was with this little cover. Being made of 0.8 and 1.6mm thick steel and so small it took a lot of careful welding, brazing and grinding to get a result that was at least presentable. It's not exact replica of the original but it needed to suit my application.

"Braking News" The spelling of "reconise" has caused a major international disagreement with my wife which has escalated to such proportions that I may have to fix my own drink.
The adjuster bolt lines up with the internal separate gear carrier and by putting pressure on this carrier, the final gear/ sprocket is pushed into the turret ring gear. If you remember when I started this gearbox I had thought that a spring would have the desired effect but after some playing around I decided that a fixed/ adjustable stop would be a better option.

Evening All,
Last night I posted pictures of this little cover that I had made. After I had posted my update it started gnawing away at me and by this morning I had decide that it wasn't good enough. I mean, how can any respectable Panzer commander go in to battle knowing that the cover for his little knob is the wrong shape. Below, next to a picture of an original, is my next attempt, which I hope is less offensive. The other items that I made today were the wooden grips for the trigger handle. That's all for now folks. Jon

Indeed... if he had been building tanks in 1944, we might not have won the war!
