I’m looking for measurements so I can replicate the side skirt mounts on a M47. Seen in production but almost never after that. Thanks.

The skirt fits on a flange that in scale is about as wide as the fender is molded in 1/35.

When I did my M46 I drilled the holes in the fender side based on the pieces from an Italeri M47. I did the same when I built the M47. Just drilled the holes in the side of the fender based on the skirt piece.

Sounds good but the Takom M47 has no side skirts at all that I can use as a guide.
