Hi guys,
I have the DML Panther G 6268 and KT Henschell 6254 kits and I would LOVE to do one with full interior. I don't want to scratch build so I need advice on the best resin sets:
1. Tank Workshop do a full interior for both Panther G and KT. Has anyone used these and do they fit DML kits?
2. For the Panther G, CMK kits 3030 turret interior, 3123 transmission and Real Models engine set. Anyone used these? I presume I will have to scratch build around the transmission in this option.
3. For the King Tiger, Verlinden 1792 KT interior and 2117 KT engine pack. Will this give a full interior without scratchbuilding and do they fit the DML kits?
Looking forward to your experiences, advice and thoughts
Thanks
Jon

The Tank Workshop interior sets are a drop-in for Tamiya kits, but will need some work to fit the Dragon kits.

I've used Jaguar's interior set for the Panther G and was very pleased with the quality of the molding and ease of fit. It's designed for Tamiya's kit - which is what I used mine on - but I'm sure it can be used for Dragon's, too ... maybe with just a bit of trimming?

The TW interior is not recommended for later Dragon Panther kits as it depicts the torsion bars that are already in the Dragon kit. Won't work without lots of surgery you don't want to do.
I've used the Jaguar interiors for Tamiya kits but then the torsion bar issue springs up when considering them for Late Dragon kits. The Jaguar interior will work in pre 2006 Dragon KT kits.
I'm not as familiar with the CMK offering.
