Whats are those black things above the smoke launchers? And what have they done to the turret in the background on the Cadillac Gage? Just some sheets and stones to protect turret from rain? Can't see it.
 
Those black things are spare tracks and that thing in the background is a blanket. Bildiğin battaniye.
