Alot of screwing...
I love that you make great improvements on an already great kit.

I have very good friends who are incredibly knowledgeable about these Jagdpanter / Panther.
They help me a lot with tips and know-how.

My faithful Postman did it again.
Today I had an early Christmas Eve.
Got a package from Mark Lawson, lots of brass candy in it.
To my beloved Jagdpanther.

Its a pleasure to read and see all you´r work

I have now made molds to glue my rubber rings on to the metal rims.
The molds are super snugg.
This wants to be a test of whether and how this will work.
I will glue with Loctite 480.

Interesting concept Robert. Those should work ok -may be a bit difficult to remove?

But those should work well to squeeze the tire on the rim. I notice the tire is a tad loose on the rim. I use big rubber band around tire to do same thing. Here in US broccoli comes with stalks tied together with big (~8-10mm wide) rubber bands. They work good for tire gluing.

Small update on the sprocket wheels.
I had to wait forever for my castle nuts and other hobby screws.

My friend Christoffer A here in Sweden, did help me with making M3 screws with the correct scale head.
These are the ones that hold the brass washer.

After that I made new hubcaps, so that the brass cover plate hides the M3 screw.

Have a nice hobby time to you all.

After looking at many pictures and many books about JagdPanther, I found a small detail I wanted to do on my hubcaps.
Many thanks to my friends who helped me measure the diameter of that hole.
There were a few holes to drill, but it's like therapy to do this.

Have a nice day to you all.

It´s not much material left between the holes. Very nice with all that therapy

[cahlfors]

It's so sweet!

Thank you for the kind words.

Small update in the wrong order.
I decided to be able to screw my hubcaps on with all the washers.
So I used my lathe to make inserts, and drilled and tapped the holes for the hubcaps.

Have a nice panzer time

I've been missing my PostMan.
But today he delivered again.
Nice little gems from Mark Lawson

I found a new detail that I want to do on my JagdPanther.
It took a while to make these washers, but now I'm on my way.
Have a nice Panzer Day to you all.
