I Agree with all the comments, your build is outstanding. My question is do you know what the difference was in the main gun between say the Panther Ausf. F and the Panther II?

I can't answer with conviction, but I believe the Panther II was to be armed with an even longer 75mm or the long 88mm used on the King Tigers.

Thanks again gentlemen , i appreciate the feedback !!!!

 Eric , thanks for the help . I was trying to find a definite answer but since these 2 tanks where not put into production a definite answer may be difficult to find .

Heres what i found so far .Both tanks might have been outfitted with the Scmalturm .Several Scmalturm were built with and equiped with  modified versions of the 75 mm KwK 42 L/70 . There was a proposal to equip the Scmalturm with the 88 mm KwK 43 L/71  in March .1945 .

To me the main gun on this Panther II model looks like a 88 mm .

Anyone with more info let us know .

I'd go with the 88.

that looks a lot like a King Tiger 88mm, except minus the muzzle-break.

Sure does Eric .

I was just doing some rithmatic ......well googgle did it ..Geeked.. If that is a 88mm L/71 kanone then according to what i looked up that means 88 mm x 71 which equals 6248 mm which equals 245.984 inches which equals right at 25 feet . That barrel is 20 ft 6inches long ? Holy mackeral !

Ok , nough brainy-acking for now .Stick out tongue
