Looking good so far :).
 For the 38t variants, do you mean Bergepanzer & Aufklarungspanzer type of thing?

The 38D was a whole series of panzers, based on the lengthened running gear of the 38T.

It starts with this: (which I will still do, even for just myself)


Then it branches out into dozens of tanks.  Similar to the E series in scope.

While postage costs may be an issue, let's see what's possible, (like Wymalla I'm in the UK, but unfortunately at the opposite end so pooling purchases would be a little tricky) & I assume that it'll all be a bit academic if Brent doesn't get the ten required to get this done before the new year. Normally I'd have put this on the West Wind forum as Secrets Of The Third Reich players would be interested (& there are E series entries in the game's vehicle list). However currently their forum is not operating (I've no clue as to what's going on with it). That leaves their Facebook page which is still very much active - I'm not on FB so perhaps someone who is could spread the gospel there?

Just posted on the Weird WWII FB group, asking for more people interested.

The Waffentrager would be a great addition, as would the SiG33 version - there's also a whole family of stretched chassis variants which would make for cool models, 88, 128 & 150mm Waffentragers based on the pictured hull.

 Predatorpt - good one, I'm not on FB so I was hoping someone would post on it :)

And the Panther F version...

This model is ready to Print, as any small details I'll add by hand.  So baring any major changes we are good to go.

Both versions look great, the only thing that immediately comes to mind would be the three catches that would be on the left side of the large engine hatch in the engine deck - easy to add by hand -  (the option for Tiger II type track guards would also be good).
 Wolivant - thanks to you sir for putting it over the top.

the skirts come with the model, and that have angles and straight parts.


Does anyone know what the length of this tank should actually be?  The plans online actually make it smaller than I think it should, because the Panther F turret on the plans is smaller than the turret I've seen alone in other blueprints.  by about 10%

So the "F" turret on the plans would be too small to fit a panther let alone a panther II.
