Panther turret modifications

Post by pete fertl »

Panther turret modification, will run a one time batch of turrets. See my gallery pictures if you are interested. Pictures are of two turrets one standard and one modified. Turret is welded after all plates are fitted and the top of the side plates are milled even all the way around, the front angle of the side plates are cut lower and extended into the front plate, a recess is then cut all the way around for the new roof support and tight fit. The roof is aluminum and recessed at its end all the way around to simulate the weld seem. A new bevel is made to match up the front plate. A new barrel and muzzle is available, but it requires the mantlet be modiifed to accept it. Barrel and muzzle are for none firing units only. The MG hole is also moved to its proper location. The bottom plate of the turret is also milled flush with the sides. You can email me at (nolan2125@comcast.net) for more detail. Down the road the hull will recive the same type of recessing as the turret roof.
