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 added a dust coat to this big cat. I think I might have over done it. The green camo patches are hardly visible now. I have added tow cables. The tow cable ends are from a Tamiya Panther G spare sprue. The cables are scratch made by twisting seven wires together. Twisting wires together is not as easy as it sounds. It was hard to keep the wires tightly wound together. The spare track holder pins are scratch brass wire with Aber chains. The pins from the Aber set are flat and not cylindrical, so they would not fit in the holes in the holder. I still need to add a flat coat to get rid of shiny areas. |
