Modeller Build Logs

My goal is to convert an early '70s Tamiya motorized mid-Jagdpanther into an early Jagdpanther in Normandy 1944 with a full interior, photo etch, new track, turned barrel, etc.
Essentialy add almost every single after market part on to the model. I am also planning on adding figures and putting the model in a diorama. |

| The Transmission | Jul 11, 2007 |
| Okay I have dry fit the interior and the transmission. The Verlinden instructions are lacking with regard to the various levers and foot pedals even though they are on the etch fret. So using reference pic for jagdpanther and panther I have added them to the transmission. I also scratch built the lever on the left hand side of the transmission. Once again the old Tamiya's over sized dimensions cause some fit problems. The chassis is a bit too long for the interior, so things will be spaced out, lengthwise, but I am hoping it won't look too bad once everything is closed up and viewable only from the rear hatch. |
