Try this site, http://www.theresearchsquad.com/.
Perhaps an email as they have restored a Panther. There were a number of pictures but I notice they have changed the site a bit.

I am still looking for a picture of the turret power gearbox which I know I have somewhere.

hi guys,
time flows really fast ! already 2 weeks since I resumed working on this one, where waiting for more work done before posting but if I keep waiting it will be chistmass soon

So I'm working on, well, almost on every parts

, interior with munition boxes, the gun, transmission, exhaust pipes and engine compartment.
Engine is too wide (???) have to remove some parts as to get it fit (??) Model doesn't really show how to fix it so I just glue it on some cardboard. Working on some pipes mod too. Will post final picture in a couple of days.
Second issue I got - this one is on me - I didn't glued the gun support on the right position

!!! hep, finally It has to be to the back. Had to cut through. I take the opportunity to had some support, made of cardboard.

After finishing the engine (and fans) will move to munitions and transmission.

bye

Finished the engine. Did the fan too, Glued blades 4 by 4 at 90°, using the cutting mate as reference in order to get and ever angle.

On next update the front and rear wheel drive

bye

Great realization.

Thanks john.

did a few work on the transmission.
Lots of parts but nothing that difficult. The only thing I might complain about is for the laser cut not having the drive gear parts

.
I used the cutting compass technique, need some practice but in the end, perfect circles - and all the same

- !
I won't glue them right know, waiting to see all of it fit. Just did a "test" with the tracks, seem ok !

Bye

Hi Dje,
I saw construction of 2 Jagdpanther in my old forum and you can be sure you are doing a great job. There are several GPM tanks that have this quality but in general they are not easy.

Gerd

thanks all.
In all this model is well done and not difficult, the last part that may give me issue is the gun barrel, still can't roll those long tubes correctly

.
What's taking lot of time is getting to know how all parts really fit together because diagrams not really helping, and there's lot of them

.

Nice work so far.

For the Gun Barrel on my Centurion, I collected many different sizes of wooden dowel
until I found one the correct size to roll the barrel part around.
Then I wrapped and glued the printed part onto the dowel.
Makes for a Gun Barrel that will never dent or warp.
A dowel that it too small can be wrapped in paper layers until you get to the needed diameter.
