TSe419E Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Dan, what is the space for on the left fenders in between the front most stowage bin and the big box? In the photo below, it is the space that has bars and a curved top? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTDBV Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 I asked the guys running our M41-DK1 and it is room for a small 230V Honda generator used for charging 4 of 6 turret batteries. You can see it in this video: In searching for M41-DK1 I have seen pictures where it is covered with canvas. (At least I assume that it is canvas.) Hopes that this helps you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSe419E Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 The person I asked for was very grateful. He was wondering if you might be able to find out what the circled item in these pictures is: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTDBV Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 I was at GHRVPK today and i asked. It is as Major duck says a holder for a cooking gas burner. I have to ask about how it is used but i think that MD's description sounds very plausible. The placement was because thats where they had room for it. I am courious, is it a model he is building? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major duck Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Year i cant post there it seems one of the guys asked about the shape of the M41Dk1 and the whole upgrade idea was to get it to look like leopard 1 if it was spotted at all so all the extensions and boxes was made so it looked like a leopard 1 in silhouette. At the same time the Gun got a new israeli round that was said to be able to penetrate the front armour of a T-72 from that time period. They also changed the engine to a diesel from a petrol which gave it a lot more power. It removed some of the stealth as the petrol engine M41 was able to sneak up on you if move in the lowest gear and very slow you couldn't hear it until ift was within 25-50 m , the diesel was a bit louder. from army-guide The overall layout of the M41 vehicle has not been changed but some 70 improvements have been carried out. These include the replacement of the original petrol engine with a more fuel-efficient US Cummins VTA-903T diesel developing 465 hp (similar to that in . the Bradley Fighting Vehicle); installation of four forward-firing grenade dischargers either side of the turret (as already fitted to the Danish Leopard 1); installation of an NBC system in the turret bustle; a fire detection and suppression system; new battery installation; improved internal layout; redesigned stowage rack and bins; a heater; a new DISA 7.62 mm anti-aircraft machine gun mount on the turret roof in place of the 12.7 mm M2 MG; installation of side skirts similar to those on the Leopard 1; new electric gun controls, a thermal night vision system for the gunner with an integrated laser range-finder; a halogen searchlight mounted on the gun mantlet; a night vision periscope for the driver; and night vision goggles for the commander. A scavenger system has been fitted for the 76 mm gun breech and 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun. Prior to the completion of the modernisation programme, the Danish Army had already taken delivery of a new AAl-developed 76 mm APFSDS-T round which has a significant increase in armour penetration characteristics over the existing ammunition. This round is also understood to have been purchased by Taiwan for its M41 light tanks. Edited September 1, 2020 by Major duck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
