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. |

| Front Plate | May 30, 2007 |
| I have added final drive housing that I copied from the Dragon Panther II kit with molds I made with RTV and two part resin. I have also added in detail on the inside of the final drive. I added weld beads for the front plate with plastic strip and Tamiya liquid glue. The Atak Zimmerit was added, but you can see it is too short. I will have to add more zimmerit with putty. As I am going along I have realized that dimensionally this kit is oversized. I have noticed this with the Atak zimmerit and the Verlinden interior. I will have to make a number of fixes to address this problem. |
