Early Jagdpanther

By Russ Takashima
Started: May 9, 2007
Updated: Dec 6, 2007

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 Original ChassisMay 20, 2007
Here's a look at the original chassis with various holes for motorization and channels for the axles. First step is to fill in all of the holes and remove the axle channels. I also noticed the front plate is at the wrong angle. So I will try to fix that. I am not going to fix other dimension errors, since that will require way too much surgery. I am using a Dragon Panther G as a template for some of the basic shapes.
