Another view of the thick gun mantlet.

Bow gunner's ball machine gun mount for the .30 caliber.

View showing the enormously thick extra frontal armor.

This tape measure shows the thickness of the extra armor applied over the existing armor.

The left front road wheel has had most of its rubber rim sheared off. All of the road wheels will be replaced with the spoke-type that Cobra King had in 1944.

Rear view showing spare track block storage rack.

Tape measure showing the thickness of the extra side armor.

One unusual feature of Cobra King is that the left rear bogie has been replaced with another, but mounted backwards. Since Sherman bogies were omni-directional, simply reversing the return roller assembly and track guide will correct this problem.
