Well I'm calling this one done ! For now anyway. Although I'm waiting for one more PE rear deck screen from Ebay which has not shipped yet. Over all I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions, input and parts. I may still tweak some small details. I had thought of adding some rope on the sides. I was just not sold on it so I removed it. Maybe just have not found the right style or thickness yet. I did make a small bit of barbed wire i currently have hanging on the side. Think it looks ok. Maybe I'll remove it or add to it lol ! Also tossed around the idea of steel anti aircraft armor on the rear deck. But as of today she is done!

I was able to get the Jagdpanther out to the Sep battle day in Danville. I took a few shots of before and during. Over all the Jagdpanther ran very well for its 1st outing and sounded awesome with Stian's sound set on a TK80 and feed threw that nice speaker.

A few more shots from today. They use a truck as a respawn vehicle in some of the matches. So once your knocked out the trucks pick you up and take you back to your starting point to reenter the battle. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
