LOve your adding details on the commander's hatch, and the correct arched two pieces of sliding cover with right position of the hole.
BTW, is the 88mm gun tube a new customer-made one? Looks a bit longer but is correct than the stock one.
Best regards,

Re: ELEFANTE
Hello !
Thank you very much RCSparks and Chang !, the barrel is the one of the kit, just is not in the final position yet
Well this are the final details of the roof and the mantlet corrected, rectified and texured no the edges...

Re: ELEFANTE
Hola Alberto,
Only found now from your photo, that there is no down rib on the mantlet.
I was always wondering why can't my Elefant low down much of the gun...

Re: ELEFANTE
I only add a chain locked between two pistol port plungers, so any one of them can be opened without losing.
Not accurate in reality, but functional.

Re: ELEFANTE
Hello !
Thanks Chang, May be we only open one pistol port but yes we will use a chain too...
Continue from the top to the bottom here other details, the lifting hooks was enlarge, welds, and starting some battle damages...

Re: ELEFANTE
Very realistic battle damage Alberto, that's an addition that some builders can get terribly wrong but yours look great!
