Hey Darren,
Did you get two upper hulls in your kit or am I just a lucky guy?

Hi Darren,
This is not one of the first batch of 12 because of a few reasons:
- The fan covers are wrong for an early ausf D Panther, they should be thicker
- They did not carry the welded brackets for the MG
- They did not carry the jib boom
- Cannot see if the rear towing hook is there, but it should be
So, apart from the fan covers (and maybe the towing hook), it should be quite easy to model an initial one using this kit as a base.
I may be missing some other details, but from top of my mind that's it...
hope this helps,
Carlos
