Hello all,
I am new to the forums, and was wondering if anyone could find any pics of the AUF1 with a mantlet dust cover? I saw it in one picture, but the angle was bad and no detail was really visible. I am planning on making one for my Meng 1/35 AUF1, and have searched endlessly, but have had no luck. If anyone has any photos that would be an amazing help, thanks!

I can't remember having seen one myself. Could you post the one you have?
I'll contact someone on French forums to get more details about this cover. No results guaranteed though.

Here's the closest match I've found :



(from chars-francais.net : http://www.chars-francais.net/2015/index.php/engins-blindes/automoteurs?task=view&id=686 )

Just found another one



The cover seems to be often rolled up when present :
