Hi all,
I have just received the Voyager IR parts so I can start a IR Panther G. Other than the picture of the G with Ambush camo and IR gear, are there any other images of other panthers with IR?
If there indeed was an engagement by an IR equiped Panther unit at the end of the war, what model Panthers would they have had. Late G's, or still some early G's (with zim) fitted with the IR?
I know this is a fairly "what if" build but I would like to base it on something plausible.
Any ides or help appreciated.
Jon

There are 2 images here:

Not sure if this was a tank actually capured with the IR equipment on it, or if it was mocked up for the museum.
