Hi does anyone out there know if you can get a cast commanders cupola. Like the cast mg port for the front hull. Think they look so much better
Thanks Lee

Re: Panther G commanders cupola
i just added a little bit of Mr Surfacer 500 to the MG mount and cuppola to add some texture.
It cost me a lot less than £35 to do as well.
In fact, i use Mr Surfacer on all cast items including Sherman hulls and turrets and it gives a very good finish.
Cheers

Re: Panther G commanders cupola
The Schumo cupola is fine for a Tiger 1 or 2 but it won't fit the Panther which had a higher profile. ..

Its the good stuff and quite cheap too compared to cast while metal parts and the look is just as good.Swamprat33 wrote:
