hey guys,

now hl have released a decent jagdpanther, we have a decent chassis to build a decent panther upon. it may seem to alot a bit crazy, buying a perfectly good Jagdpanther and ripping it to shreds straight away!

ive posted this topic, not because i want to do it, but because id like to see the way different people would go about converting it

oh, and just a thought, we will see who can come up the the most interesting idea, but at low cost and if you would for example scratchbuild the turret, say it, but if you would buy one, then put a link! this could also be useful to somebody who may actually want to do it!!

Cheers guys, i await your interesting responses!!

best and simplest way is cut everything off from the level of the engine deck make a new deck, and get the turret from tamiya they sell all of their model sprue's separately, mate of mine just got the suspension sprue for his leopard for the excellent price of £14 .....

an interesting thought, converting the HL jagdpanther to a panther, personally i think it would be more trouble than its worth, for a start the HL jagdpanther hull is loosely based on the HL Tiger, look at the front lower glacis plate, still to upright for a panther, and chances are its to wide, just like the HL pantiger. i think the way i would do it, if i was to do it, would be to get a complete upper hull and turret from the HL pantiger, modify that and put that on the jagdpanther lower hull, that way you would have a reasonable looking panther, and you could change the upper hull and have a jagdpanther, sort of like a 2 in 1 tank,

just what i was goona say.....

that wouldn't be too hard to change, anyway the hl jagdpanther isnt too wide, its just right apparently! and anyway hl completely re-made the whole shassie!

heres a pic of the hull part from the front plate it looks the same as my tamiya panther

i am going the other way i want to put the hl jagdpanther upper hull on my tamiya panther

heres two better pics.....
