Hi JayBrd,
Sorry I am not trying to hi-jack your thread here

but,If you want to make a different and easy Panther modification....that did exist have a look at this photo, It also shows the ONLY PORSCHE Version Tiger 1( Numbered 003) that ever made it into combat........
AND......look at ....
.........the second tank on the rail car.....A PANTHER Hull with a PANZER 4 TURRET.....odd but true

Never Forget......
The Propaganda of the Victors....... becomes the History of the Vanquished
