Hi All,

Fitted a set of covers supplied by Charles Stewart, lots of holes to drill in the steel floor! 8ba fasteners used to secure... I will now have to counter sink and fill the fasteners holding the suspension rail.

Hi Dave
I so wish Armortek would do a new run of Jagdpanthers.
Missed out on the first 2 versions. It's been a while since the last universal version.
This is stunning work you are doing on this model.

Regards Derek

Just been catching up on the build David, she's starting to come together now, and looking good. Also, the mantlet mod you did made the world of difference.

Can't wait to see this one finished!

Cheers,

Thanks guys, I'm glad you are injoying this Jagdpanther refresh and maybe inspired some to purchase a jagdpanther kit.

Now all I need is to find some patience to get on with the milliput welds.
