Thanks for the order Normandy !!

I forgot to mention the way I made the copula, it has little square teeth that fit into the vision block frames. The part is the white tube inside of the copula and if you look close you can see the white inside the vision block. That way you can try to paint them like glass and the " teeth " will fit inside and will be tons easier to paint.

I am pretty certain there were no completed Panther Fs, only incomplete hulls w/ regular G turrets, unaccompanied turrets at the assembly line, incomplete hulls on the factory floor, but never a compete beast. The picture above is of the turret placed on a regular Panther hull by the Brits postwar, not an actual production tank; any other "completed" ausf. Fs (German test prototypes, there were 2) that existed were actually the schmallturm with on a ausf. G hull. The actual production Panther F was to have the steel wheels, as that was the direction all German tanks were taking that late in the war to save rubber, but as was true for the late production Gs, they were sometimes equipped with older style road wheels if they happened to be available (Germans weren't picky at that point).

there is quite a bit of discussion (and sources) here:

I forgot to make moulds for the exhaust stacks .

So this could delay things.

If you guys want I can pack and ship what I have and mail the exhaust stacks and antenna in a envelope.

Let me know what you guys want to do.

But , I am working on them now and hopefully with fingers crossed I can get'em out on Friday.
