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. |

| Final Drive Housing | Jun 9, 2007 |
| Here's a photo showing the resin copy of the final drive housing. Also you can see the zimmerit added to the side of the chassis. The Atak zimmerit did not match with the various fittings on the side of this old kit, so I had to do some cutting and pasting to get the zimmerit on the side. I still need to add tension wheel on the final drive housing and axles for the first and last road wheels. I also need drill a hole for the idler axle and scratch build the idler axle. I decided to add the lower chassis details before I attach the underside to the sponsons. I figure it would be easier. So I won't be able to really work on the interior until I have added the sponsons. |
