Modeller Build Logs

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. |

| Holes filled in | May 27, 2007 |
| I have cut out the axle channels, removed the front plate. I have filled in all of the chassis holes and the channels where motorized axles dropped in at the rear. The front plate has been replaced with plastic sheet. I still need to remove the final drive details on the sides of the chassis. I will also correct the front end of the side plates where the towing hooks are located. I will also add the final drive housing detail to the in side of the side plates. I also need to add the zimmerit to the lower hull. I know that first and last axles are missing and the swing arm ends are extremely oversized compared to the other swing arms, but I will leave them as since I donot want to make corrected swing arms. I will also leave the Tamiya logo and name on the bottom plate, just to prove that this was the original 70's kit. |
