I just noticed this part (blue) on the Matilda plate. I thought it was part of it, but mine doesn't have it. Any ideas?
Also, is this the guy that was there before they drilled the handle holes?
Not by my kits right now, but that "might could be" one of those angled pieces from the Tamiya 1/35 Ausf. M/N Panzer.
Good mail call today. Added scans to everything.
Soooo close to finishing this one.
1. I need to figure out which tank the peg that goes through the Nitto wheel comes from.
2. Centurion maybe?
3. Some kind of piece that's been cutoff. Looks like the tip of a vehicle maybe?
4. Which tank barrel. It could probably be several.

#3 is possibly Tamiya 8rad.

The holes were there initially when they were building the core structure and before detailing. Makes it somewhat difficult to reproduce that way and get it to align properly.
Going off Nicks original ID thread, the Elefant piece is simply a plug to cover the holes and screws. Much like the Ferrari engine plates at the front of the mandibles, and the Semovente guns on the upper gun deck.
It stands to reason that all of these holes were plugged / covered early on in 76.

Okay so one piece left to pickup for this section. I know it’s not the right height yet. In the meantime I have a couple of questions.
1. Is the gap between the Chevy and Pontoon too big. Right now it makes my mandible 16 7/8ths.
2. The sight on the Duster gun comes off right but the two little brackets are left on?

Haven't done this area yet (except in dry mock-up), but I think the Chevy chassis and Pontoon Bridge "touch" each other, and the "gap" is at the back of the pontoon bridge, in order to give room for the Sheridan hull.
Thanks. Looking at this pic it looks like there may be a small gap. Maybe a little of both in the front and back.
Thanks Stu.
I noticed this morning I missed a piece hiding on the docking ring. There is something that goes over the Hasegawa Sherman part and under the Hanomang part. Any ideas or anyone have a better pic?
Mis-Post. Ugh. LOL Sorry John!

How about Tamiya Hanomag #B28? *EDIT* This isn't the part. Found a different shot of Port side and this isn't the part... I'll keep looking. Close, but no cigar. Added ref photo:
