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. |

| Now that I have scratch built the roof plate, it's time to check if everthing fits together. In this pic the roof plates is just taped in place. Not seen is the gun cradle inside. The gun mantle and barrel are just dry fit in place. Also the hull is just sitting on the chassis. The rear door is a spare part from the Dragon Panther G kit. Although it is a little small, it does have the interior detail that is lacking on the original part. The rear door will be posed open so that the full interior will be visible. Next I'll begin work on all of the etched fittings on the hull. |
