This is a special used by schw. pz. jäg. Abt. 653. It was a Bergepanther that got a fixed mounted turret from a Panzer IV Ausf.G. The model is a ESCI Ausf.A that I backdated to an Ausf.D, wheels came from Hasegawa and the turret is Hasegawa's Pz IV.G with extra armour from Eduard. I just loved the look of this Panther at first glance. |
This was fun to build. It is a Ersatz Panther M10. The Germans tried to get some Sherman tanks for the Ardennes offencive. When it was impossible they tried to disguise some Panther G as American M10 tanks. This model is based on a Nitto Panther Ausf.G kit that I had in store. |
