Hi Guys I know the Panther and jagdpanther upper hulls fit the Tamiya lower Panther hull,But do the Panzer 4 uppers fit ,and do the Pershing and the new Sherman,aslo do the Mato Kingtiger uppers fit .
Reason is would love to have them all with Tamiya running gear but the cost would be to much to have every tank like this ,so was thinking of swopping over the tank tops,for example Buy a Tamiya panther ,have a heng long Jagdpanther top and a Panther top to make a Bergpanther 3 tanks one set of lower running gear ,I have Tamiya Pershing and love it but would also like to do a Superpershing,could do the same with the Panzer 4 ,Stug 4 Jagdpanzer 4 even a Hummel.


regards pete

Hi Bubbajoexx Thanks for the info about the King Tiger and the Sherman ,this opens up the possibility of Jagd tiger and and king Tiger on one hull ,the Sherman fitting the Cast hull with the Tamiya turret and a 75mm gun ,along with your mod for the suspension,should look very sweet,there is another version change the tamiya turret for the heng long and make a good version easy 8.

Do you know if the Pershing hulls swop over .
