Looking good. Got to ask, where did you get the rear bin covers, they look great.

hi there ...

the track hangers on the turret were of two types ... the first and most common were made in the field by workshops .. and it was a just simple steel bar welded to the turret hull roof bent down the turret side and then looped back up to from a hook !

the very late panthers had the track hangers fitted at the factoy .. which as pictured above .. the same and the hangers from the rear hull on a panther

i hope this pic helsp too ... my steal wheeled G
