Don't you all wish we had access to ALL the photos that those who worked on the Bandai had access to? Sheesh! Haha!
I don't think that's it either, but I'd keep that in your back pocket! Haha! The Bandai part has the 3 circles bottom, 3 rectangles top. Hmm...
I've looked at so many cars...has to be out there somewhere.
It's in the one you haven't looked at yet. LOL Soooo many cars, so many everything...

Thanks Stu! I can stop crawling Japanese sites for Imai Matra MS11 now
.
Oh dear Lord. Thanks Stu.
I think this is a cut down Hetzer part. Thoughts? *edit Or probably the Panther G part that butts up against it.

I used the Panther G strip, leftovers basically from the main strips around the cockpit, one of the trickiest cuts to get just so!.
Those little circle nubs are in the way. LOL
I take no credit on this one, and special thanks to Stu for straightening us out.
#41 is technically from the howitzer that either comes in the M8 Carrier set or as a separate kit.
There's quite a few more parts that even Bandai missed in their PG kit, that were present very early on after construction & can be seen in certain reference shots.

If anyone would happen to have any of those reference shots and would like to share. ...just saying.
...just saying. 
That's what I've been using. I didn't know if there were others out there. Got my new specs yesterday and this pic isn't as blurry as it used to be.
I did a quick pass through and noticed what look to me like a couple areas that are different compared to Chronicles. I circled in blue. Take a look, what do you think?
You guys have digital copies, huh? I have the book, but not a big enough scanner to digitize them. Looking on the computer sure beats looking at the book sometimes doing side by sides. LOL (Keep your minds out of the gutter with my drawings, guys! LOL)

Awesome man. Thanks.
You know how looking at this thing is. Bad enough looking through 200 kits over and over, then looking at the Bandai... Haha! Then Bandai did a really good job with the details, but there are some details that look just a little different. The piece at the top of the strip towards the 45 in the tube looks a little different to me too, but close enough I wouldn't nit pick it. Part 80-1 sitting on top of 64.It just looks a tiny bit different in Chronicles.
