Guys, In the link to a pic of Catherine, Am I seeing the canvass gun cover on the mantlet or is it missing?

TIA

Brad

Brad,

It's missing, those squares on the turret front and the mantlet itself are the fasteners/fastener tabs for the mantlet cover.

I'll check my photos when I get home tonight, I may have another angle of "Catherine", I also have a shots of the tabs used. It would be from "Boss" the M4a2E8 in front of the BCR Drill Hall but the turret/mantlet are the similar.
