Steve,

    My Jagd has a nice superstructure to hide my Walmart $.88 panzergrenaderes behind.  Also some panthers had sheet metal walls on the back deck for protecting panzergrenaders armed with infrared STG-44's to prevent Russian sappers from sneaking up on the tanks at night.

 

Steve, as a side note, how many layers of what weight fiberglass were used on the turret of your old T-34/85?

 

                                                                                                                                                    Morgan
