It’s interesting to go back to my earlier builds and realize I didn’t care about removing pin marks, seams etc like I do now.
Whilst waiting for the paint to come off I started doing some research on this kit and found out it doesn’t do a good job representing either a G1 or G2 Jagdpanther. If you build the early option you get a G2 hull with late G1 features. The early option was what this kit was originally built as.
I’ve decided to try to make the model into a “somewhat” accurate G2. The engine deck layout is questionable if it’s accurate or not and might not be long enough. After a little digging in my spare parts I managed to find the parts for the G2 version. I also need to remove the tool storage racks from the side of the hull and reposition some tools to the rear. As of right now the only aftermarket I’m planning on using are engine deck screens that are somewhere in the closet.
