It is just minor tweaking. Maybe I have pictures in my thread. It is easy to do

Philipat,
The only mods I made to the early G mantle are the mounting posts (these were repositioned as the tamiya mounts are different), plus I added the metal lifting lugs. Check Soeren's build as well , I'm following too.

By the way, where did you get the road wheel without the hub? That would be a nice addition too.

I think I bought the individual Outer wheel from "welsh dragon" as you can buy single spare wheels. Cut down the boss, remove some of the nut detail and drill some holes. Panthers are my favourite WW2 tank so I do tend to go for a variety of details.

You have some great ideas to make those previous toy tanks some unique models.

Thanks Soeren,
I just copy my 1/35 scale dragon tanks, if they look right at that scale they should look the same only bigger.
