Panther V1 with King Tiger running gear

I captured all detail of this prototype running gear. The first wheel station has differences on the wheel clamp. Something I've noticed on the Panther II as well. The running gear looks similar, but is not identical to neither Panther II or late Tiger I.  

With the running gear completed, time to work the chassis front. 

Important part to this build is the idler, it seems be a makeshift rig of some sort. Took a few iterations to sneak close to the original. 

both MG and driver vision port were closed off flush. The front fender extension has no rips nor fittings or fasteners. 

Turret simulation weight coming to life. 

Sim weight does fit nicely.
