Hello, does anyone know who makes ammo bags/boxes for the cupola mounted mg-34 on a tiger or panther in 1/35 scale.
Many thanks,
Paul

The MG-34 mounted as an AA weapon on the cupola was infact the coax mg. When used in the AA role it had to be removed from the coax position and remounted in the AA mount and then when finished returned to it's coax position. This wasn't done very often as it was a PITA. It used the same ammo bags in the AA mode as in the coax.
