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. |

| I have decided to scratch build the tool brackets. The originals lack detail. I did use Aber tool clasps. The towing cleat, wire cutters come from the Tamiya pzkfw IV tool set. The shovel and fenders come from Aber.The towing cleats brackets are scratch build since I did not like the look of the Aber brackets. I did use the Aber chains for the cotter pins. The fender rails are from Aber, however the dimension problem raises its ugly head again. The Aber fender rails are too short, so I replace the last piece with scratch piece. On the left side I used a piece of scrap plastic, on the rigth side I used some brass sheet. |
