Played about with the new exhaust/rear panel today.

Added a bracket and new convoy light.

Removed the tow point and replacing with a nice one from mk modellbau.

Very neat work on the transmission cover surgery, Adam. Any plans to make the convoy light functional?

I am debating it - just don’t want to spend £20 on a light :D

It’s running Tamiya electrics so unless I get a funky receiver switch for a light then it won’t work. I could swap to an elmod but paying 200 euros and selling the stock electrics is something I can’t be bothered to do.

It’s more about the looks for me! So shallow :D

Mk is due to send me a care package in the next week or so!

Ad Lav,
Still following along and as always, amazed by what can be done. ;o) A quick note, if you swap out that Tamiya lower hull and tracks ( or just the lower, I'd be interested in taking it off your hands )
regards,
Painless

Thanks Painless, what is actually happening is Tamiya king tiger wheels are being adapted to fit three jagdpanther chassis, so only the panther wheels will be left over.
