I am working on a conversion kit for the amercom/altaya m41 bulldog to make the Danish version.
I know it was fitted with the german mg3 on the turret but have only found 1 pic of it and it is not clear where the mount goes.
a few google searches have found very few pics of them fitted.
my questions are :-
was it a common fitment?
and
does anyone have any good pics of where it goes and the mount details?
thanks in advance

There's a couple of recent threads on this. Are you doing the basic Danish M41 (used until late 1980s)? Or the modernised M41 DK1 (used from the late 80s)? |

Here's an unmodified Danish M41 with a .50 (circa 1970s):
NB The M41 DK1 upgrade deleted the .50 and replaced it with MG3. |

After much searching, I've found one (bad) photo of the MG3 mount on the M41 DK1:

The mount looks very similar to the ring-mount used on West German vehicles such as SPz Luchs and Kanonenjagdpanzer. |

Based on the multitude of photos without it I really wouldn't bother to be honest. |

Ah, I see I'm not the only one planning to field Danes, and to give them those lovely little M41 tanks. They are beauties. Let the amphibious invasions begin……. |
