Would the panther work with the panzer IV?

Hi ash Mann, the way to do it would be to find a spares/repair panzer Iv upper hull with turret, cut out the part of the upper hull including the turret rotate mechanism, and transplant that into a panther upper hull. All the turret wiring connections should be the same as the panther so no problems there. The downside is carving up a panther and the panzer Iv which could be a costly way to build a tank, it really only works if you can buy the donor tanks cheap.

The HL panzer iv turret should fit straight onto the HL Panther hull as they have the same size turret ring...as has been said before...if you want it with a functioning turret, build it that way...it's your tank at the end of the day...

I see, okay, ill try to see if its possible to make at my next RC tank meet, the guys there have tanks and tank parts, so i bet they`ll have a panzer IV turret
