Ersatz M-10 Panther or A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing
Hey Guys, I just finished the Ersatz M-10 .
These were used in the Battle of the Bulge to try and infiltrate the American lines.
10 were made and they did NOT fool anybody.
The Germans also used Sturmshultzs painted in OD green , they did not fool anybody as well !

Here are the mods that need to be done to the 21st Panther to accept these modifications.

I made the tail pipes
I made the blanks for the tall cooling fan removal and the coupula

They've removed the tanks muzzle break, which might create that illusion.

Learned something new. I have seen some of this happen but not this one.
Hogan barging in on Klink and Burkhalter:"I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"
Burkhalter:"Of course you are. I've never seen you when you are not interrupting."

The way things look it will be about 3 weeks before I will be able to make the molds.
Work was slow for a bit so I was able to make the protos , now it picked back and I am work 6 days a week.
I am taking Sundays off to get a breather.
