yes, just thought that it was a bit odd that's all, because of the quality gap ... say what would you do with the rest of the panther and the hull of the jagdpanther ???

cheers,

anyways, for making the jagdpanther into a panther, i would probably cut off the top and mabe get an old hl panther, and cut down the bits and correct the turret and fix them on. that would be relatively cheap and easy.

alternatively if i had bags of money i would get rid of the top again, and put the wecohe top on ( http://www.tankzone.co.uk/images/wecohe ... th0001.jpg ) which is 109 quid, then put on a tamiya turret!

cheers,

matt
