Hi Thomas,

Nice build of yours, well done

One tiny comment...

DonÂ´t misstake 9SS Hohenstaufen...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9th_SS_Pan ... henstaufen
...with Wehrmacht 9th Panzer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9th_Panzer ... _(Germany)

Hohenstaufen never fought in the Ruhr kessel as they at that time was in Hungary, but 9th Panzer did.

Do you have a ww2 photo of that Late Ausf G with Hinterhalt tarnung?
Late G with kindblende and Ambush is very very rare and I would love to see a photo of it if you have one please.
The period of the Hinterhalt / kindblende (October 1944) is tiny and only a limited number of Panthers would be possible, much depending on the fact that the "normal" mantle was still produced and assembled on new Panthers.

Kind regards
Kent
