Thanks Rob. She's about 97% complete but I'll share some pics. Got a few more details still.

That is fan-bloodytastic Mr Chef.
On your nest one, and you know there will be, change the bow MG to an Aber brass one & fit some periscopes where needed and you will get the equivalent of Michelin Stars
What a stellar paint & chip job.
That airbrush purchase has made you twice the Man you used to be.......................(oh good Lord I sound like an ad for Paasche)!!

Thank you very much. You are a horrible influence on me but I'm happier for it

Ha ha, still working here, still working... See here's the thing about Tigers and collecting parts for them. Sometimes ya forget about whatcha already got.

So I had gotten these resin periscopes for this project last summer but when I started working I got a bit disillusioned about the whole metal commanders copula. I couldn't cut it and it was impossible for me with my chef sausage fingers to manipulate the copula periscopes in from any angle Sooo I put that little bag of goodies aside and out of my mind

BUT I have the drivers and radio operators periscopes that I had already primed and forgot all about!!!



Oh and another bit of goodies that I have ready but am contemplating how to mount. Thought you might like this?



Now first question that I'm looking for pictures of, does the ammo box cover open towards the front like I have it mocked up? or does the cover go to the rear? I'm not sure and it's not glued in place yet



Next question. I have placed the hull MG with removable glue because I couldn't find the proper LED MG barrel. Is this one that's listed for a Panther correct?

Or do we have another suggestion? I do like that the MG lights up. Is there another option? Suggestion? Link?
