| Subject: | Panther turret bunker |  |
| Date: | Jan 29, 2003 |
| From: | Warrink | |
Hi all,
I took the MIG productions Pantherturm auf Stahluntersatz out again, and
I'm planning to make a little vignette out of it (despite the fact I
can't paint figures :-] ). Now I wonder how exactly these things were
installed. I have a small side elevation picture that suggests these
bunkers were placed directly into the soil. Is this common or were there
also bunkers that were set in concrete? Are there any other things that
should be jutting out of the ground next to the bunker? The side
elevation suggests there should be an exhaust pipe of some sort. Lastly,
is there anything wrong with the MIG kit I don't know about? I know the
hatch seems too rounded, and I replaced the barrel with the nice eduard
item (the turned barrel in the kit is a good idea, but it's too thin and
it doesn't fit the muzzle brake (which is cast solid, by the way).
I know there'd likely be more response at missing lynx, but... you can
probably guess.. :-]
