Ive made a little  ::) alteration to the Pantiger today . Not sure if it was a good idea or not ? On Gras Pantiger conversion he has left the sides as they are like the Ausf.G . But I want mine to be an Ausf. A . So I've cut the sides down to resemble the Ausf. A . But this shows the incorrect Tiger tub and the piece that runs over the track . So Ive altered this so it looks a little better . The bottom picture clearly shows how the Tiger style tub shows and is incorect . Just goto clean it up and do the other side . I have also remounted some of the fixing posts. I will be adding zimmerit ( surprise surprise  ::) ) to this tank so it will hide the conversion.

Finished both side alterations now . Next step is to finish the front , rear , then the sides end sections.

Lookin good littletankman
I thought about the sides but too much was going on so I left them as they are ::)
I put springs in the front hatches so to keep them flopping around when opened/closed and driving along. 
Did you slope the back of turret
keep up the good work 8)

Hi Stevie,
Thanks for your comment. Im considering changing it to an early G but not sure . I will have to change the sides back again ? And alter the two front hatches . Reason being I cant seem to find any rear engine grills to fit . I know Tankzone stock G model ones .
