Putting the finishing touches on my King Tiger, and I'm looking how to mount the MG onto the commanders cupola, but all the pictures I've found show that there is no MG there. Any pictures you can help me with?

thanks

Shain,
Off hand I can think of this website with a few grainy photos that show the ring around the cupola and the standard mg mount, if that doesn't get you started pm me and I will send you some other pics when I find them in my stack

Thanks, got the mount down, but all I need to know is how to attach the machine gun itself.
thanks

Thanks for posting that pic Rob...it shows the mount very well. Heck, it may even be useful to me someday...I saved it.

Thanks again,
