The Vampia (?) was a later war item more suited to a Henschel Kingtiger but again anythings possible . although I have only seen them on Panthers . If you google it you should get some pictures to work from . Saying that cant you buy them ?

cheers guys, knew the two turrets were different shapes, but didnt realise till yesterday how different in hardware they were, even the turret furniture is in a different position. dont think i'm going to use vampyre, my scratch building skils are not up to it, and as you say it was only fitted to panthers. might have a go at building it though, for a giggle.
