                        Ok, well that's the really really old Tamiya kit, dates from the 70's. I don't think there will be any PE for that kit, and I know many would suggest not wasting any money on it as its not a good model of the Panther. If you did want to, you would have to get items designed for other kits. I know some people use kits like that just to work on there skills.

                        For armour PE I usually go for Aber first. Eduard also make some nice sets as do Voyager, but there stuff can be a PITA to use. It does depend on what your after.

                        Which Tamiya Panther do you have.

                        Hello everyone! I've decided after my years-long hiatus from building to pick it up again. I used to build 60s/70s Muscle, Pro Stock and Funny Cars. This time around I'd like to go the military direction.

                        I picked up a Hobby Boss Canadian Leopard2 , as well as the Tamiya British Chieftain and German Panther. I'll probably start with the Panther or Chieftain then go on to the Leo.It'll be nice to not have to polish these things to a nice bright shine!

                        This is where the request comes in. Since I've never, ever built armor, i don't know who the best after market companies are. Can I get some input on this? Also, any suggestions on what to add on to the Leo to dress it up with extras?
