Front Hull plate Images
Dragon plate has many separate parts and additional internal
details.
Alternate add-on armour panels with Dragon kit
*The hull MG opening in Dragon part is too square and should be more rectangular
as with Tristar part.
*Pistol port slightly too low on Dragon plate
but as it's a separate part,
just open up the locating hole a little and reposition.
*Pistol port cover on Tristar part has the correct flat tip
profile while it is pointed on the Dragon part.
*Both kits have visors that can be positioned open or closed.
Images of assembled front plates showing extra internal detail on Dragon kit.
*Dragon hull machine gun barrel incorrect type for Ausf.D and should be the
standard perforated MG34 barrel as with the Tristar kit,
the Dragon sleeved
barrel was introduced with the Ausf.E
