Anyone make a 1:35 snorkel for Panther D?
Posted by Engine_95 on Tuesday, January 17, 2017 3:03 PM

After more than 20 years out of the game I've decided to get back into modeling. I picked up the 1:35 Tamiya Panther Ausf. D and plan on building the fairly well known I02 befehlswagen at Anzio from I./Pz.Rgt.4. My only problem is the armored cover for the telescoping snorkel is clearly visible in the photo and I strive for authenticity. Does anyone make an aftermarket snorkel cover in 1:35 for the Panther?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I think its included in this set from MR Modellbau which includes all you need for the conversion to a command vehicle.

Thanks Bish!  Ooof, that's a lot of supplemental parts.  Especially since I've already got the befehlswagen star antenna kit from Tasca.  But I guess if no one makes just the armored snorkel cover then I'll have to go with MR Modellbau!  Yes
