Re: Another Panther G conversion to an earlier mark
Some more pics, work has been slow as health has been poor last 2 months even more so last 3 weeks, ive still got loads to. Perfectionists to note it is not meant to be100% history rivet by rivet accurate but a damn sight more so than a pantiger. As i said unfinished as of yet and health allowing i will get it done soon.

Re: Another Panther G conversion to an earlier mark
Hi alpha, the zimmerit was a combination of a polish made attak zim kit which was designed a static 1.16 panther kit, tamiya i think, and some of the rubber zimm sheet for a tiger 1 left over, it was a lot of cutting and shutting for sure. to be a 100% panther a the sloping sides should be flush with the bottom edge. As done in dgsk build. i looked at a lot of old photos of early g and a panthers and this is closest to a very early g i think. But i expect the experts will disagree te he. i still have quite a few small detailing bits to do and providing my arthritis, shingles and spondylosis cut me a break for a few hours, it will get done. Thank you for the original idea of using the pantiger turret was a lot of work but worth it.
