Military in Scale 06 2003


If sou decide to super-detail your model with aftermarket goodies, it's best to plan ahead rather than retro-fit them. As I had already begun construction several years ago I was forced to carry out some remedial work to incorporate all the extra parts. The Eduard photoetch set tor the Bergepanther has some really useful details such as a new gun shield for the bow cannon and the correct-style spare track link brackets for the rear hull. This set is a must. The 2 cm KwK 38 was dressed up with a turned aluminium barrel from Jordi Rubio, and Friulmodel's late-type Panther tracks were used to replace the hideous items supplied in the kit. Small details were used in favour of the kit originals including a white metal ModelKasten Bosch headlight, resin Bergepanther towing cle-vises from Elefant. Panther tow shackles, also from Elefant, a Tamiya MG34, bracket and tools from the Panzer IV On-Vehicle Equipment Set, and hollow burnished metal exhausts from Moskit.
