For now I am done with my Panther-F.
Next will be my Ausf.G
On this one also some Schurzen will be added, and as I am making it a Panther Befehlswagen, a 2m antenna and a star antenna will be on it too.
This is my Panther G

In fact this is supposed to be Michael Wittman.
But I do not care much for that, just liked the way the figure is and he fits my Panther very well.
The figure is from Torro, €19.95 and bought it from Dom's site.

Two antennas and 1 fug8 star antenna are for my Ostfront Tiger 1 Befehlswagen.
The other parts are meant to become onto my Panther-G

Today I started with the Schürzen on the Ausf. G

Measured the length on the hull and made the Schürzen fit to that size with some overlapping

Bent some plate holders which have to be adjusted once attached to the Panther, with the Schürzen on it too

Like on my Ausf. F, I had to make some clearance between the Schürzen and the hull. The tracks have some play on the idler wheels, so when the tank makes a turn, they move a bit outwards and might interfere or even throw off the rear Schürzen.
So I taped pieces of electricity wire onto the back of the Schurzen. They were just the right thickness to give the extra room between tracks and Schurzen.
