Another for the Hugill big cat rescue but enough to do I think warrant sits own thread!
I picked this one off of Facebook marketplace. Purported to be complete but annoyingly looks like the seller started removing the gun assembly, realised they couldn't remove it due to the mantlet and then didn't ship the parts (spot the missing ones in the first photo!). Seller has now gone quiet so I make do! Luckily another one I picked up had some of the parts I needed and the rest came from the bits box.
What I received is a really really nice base however, it's been up rev'd to a late G2. Tools on the side deleted, stowage bin on the rear of the casemate, really nicely done casemate roof removal for service access. Photo etch grills, the proper sponsons have been added (not something you actually see but a nice touch), schumo scopes and tow cables holders, lower glacis sticker replaced with styrene
I'm looking forward to continuing detailing this one out. Will be continuing the late war theme.

Re: Tamiya Jagdpanther G2 late.
The Tamiya Jagdpanther is kind of annoying. Stock it's like a hybrid between a G1 and a G2. The roofline is a G2 so kind of prevents me building a G1 which I find more interesting. I've thought of converting mine to an accurate late G2 moving all the tools to the rear but is the storage box on the lhs rear of the casemate a part you can buy somewhere or does it have to be scratchbuilt?

Re: Tamiya Jagdpanther G2 late.
The build would fit the tracks mate, be an amazing final product once you've finished it I can be sure of that.
