Hi Per,
thank you for the information - yes it is to late - maybe. Do you have some photos of this area? and where do you get your informations, do you have drawings?

Hello Martin

on this side are some photo's http://www.primeportal.net/tanks/john_g ... gdpanther/

Hi Martin,

I don´t have original drawing of Jagdpanther parts but photos below reveal details; here´s one from the Jagdpanther in Kubinka and as you can see the metal strip is spot welded on and at the arrow (marked 1) you see the outer edge is chamfered to meet the rubber seal:



close up of spot welds;



On the Tiger II´s drivers and MG operator´s hatch the same type of strip is used to hold the rubber seal, this is from an original drawing;

Hi Kent, William and Per,
thank you very much for the interesting informations, details and photos.
Here are the next photos of the idler wheels with some details.

In the mean time i did some progress on the floor plate - with some holes for the bottom covers. It looks like a cheese from switzerland
and i start the mounting of the hull......

Here some more photos from the hull and the idler with new threads and the casting surface......
Slowly she looks like a JP....

i have built some more details on the drive housing.

Hi Martin, Great work on the jagdpanther, lots of nice details.
Just one observation, have you checked that the sprockets won't clash with the drain plugs you've added - it looks very close.
Regards David

Hi David,
thank you for the observation, i had checked the dimensions of the sprocket to the drain plugs - before placing them!
Here comes the housing with casting numbers and some radii at the adding parts.

After the radii i scratched the surface for Mr. Surfacer to create a casting structure

sehr schön!!

Fantastic work!

Wow those drive housings look awesome! Great work Martin! I'm loving all the details!
This JP will be superb with those steel tracks.
