How are things progressing ?
I just got my turret in and can not wait to get started.
But it will be at least 2 months before I can .

"How are things progressing?"
Slowly Matthew, getting ready for Christmas and a Granddaughter are taking up some of my time.
Things have moved along since that pic was taken. I'll see if I can post some newer pics later.

Re: Paper Panzers
Here are a few more pics......
I may put some more time into it this weekend.
Using the G version of the Panther for the VK 1602 Leopard will have a different look than most of
the existing small scale kits that are offered. Most versions of the Leopard used the Panther D or A both
of which have different hull angle than the G.

Re: Paper Panzers
Thanks Maritime, If I do build another one it will most likely be scratch built (upper hull).
The hull and engine deck of the Panther G are wider than the D and A versions, the narrower
width of the earlier Panther give the VK 1602 Leopard its unique look.
I'll post some more pics this afternoon.
