Hi Andy,
You've really taken that old Pantiger far! You'd never think it was HL's inaccurate Panther now! You wont need one of the new ones at this rate, lol.
Love the side skirts as well, some fine model engineering there.
Cheers,
Rik

Hi chris, Thanks mate . Yer I bought one when they first come out same as yours no s or s . I started converting mine to a Stug III Ausf.G before HL bought theres out . I did buy the sand s version but did a deal on a Pz.IV which was none s & s . So after a swap round the Stug is s & s

Hi Chris, Sorry the PZ.III top I have the hatches are moulded on and dont open . The Pz.IV ones do if thats any help mate.

Had a go at the hammer holder and bar (not sure what it is ? ) on the Panther today . And started the barrel lock . Ive made the base but think its better to wait till the turrets done and barrel fitted before I finnish the locking part. Again I realise the nuts incorect.

Hi Chris , Thanks for the comments . Yer the Pz.III and Pz.IV side turet hatches are the same . The Pz.IV ones look like there mounted on a frame so should fit onto the Pz.III . I think you can buy metal opening ones from Dave or Miliyarymight .
