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. |

| Filling in the Holes | May 23, 2007 |
| I have removed the channels for the front and rear axles. I have filled in the holes from the removal of the axle channels. I have also filled in the motorization holes, including the slots on the side where the motor and rear drive sprocket are located. I have also replaced the front plate with plastic sheet at the correct angle based on a Dragon Panther chassis. I will not add on the associated fittings that are normally on the bottom of a the chassis. Since they won't be visible, I won't bother. Besides I have a lot of other work to do on this beast. I have also left the Tamiya lettering on the bottom. It's proof that this was originally the 70's kit. Next is adding the plates at the bottom of the sponsons. |
