it was a very challenging build , almost everything has to change it was no ordely pantherchassis , but the result may be seen

the other panther is Panther G N°131 from kampfgruppe Peiper from Herbstnebel '44 better know as The Ardennes Offensive, this one have one steelwheel on the innersite on the back and rounded hooks on the turret, it was the only one with this rounded hooks by peipers tanks

I'd swear I have seen this tank before....I thought a guy in belgum bought it.

Karel,it's the actual mounting of the wheels,is this the Impact suspension kit? Really interesting and a fine build. I can only recall two on this forum in three years,well done mate. If you have build photos I'm sure many here would be interested in the assembly phase.
