Converting an HL Panther "G" to an "A"

Post by dgsselkirk »

Greetings!

I am going to build 2 Panthers starting with HL Panther G's as the base. One I want to make into a Late "A" which was the most numerous during the Normandy campaign. And the second will be an early "G" made late July.

Both will have zim and other bells and whistles but I am wondering if anyone knows of a thread out there that someone did an "A" so I can compare what I have in mind to their ideas....

Thanks in advance guys! :D

Hey Alpha,

That is a late G that Phil did. I am looking for a G converted to an "A". The upper hull is physically a little different and some equipment differences as well. For example chin on mantle, driver's vision port, etc... But thanks for the interest...
