Will the spaced turret armor from a Panther F work and a Panther G? If not, is there a company that makes spaced armor for a G... Or will I have to end up scratch building it?

Was there any spaced armour designed for the Panther F turret (Schmalturm)? As it was a different size to that of the D, A and G, I doubt such a part, if it existed, would fit very well anyway.

There was spaced armour fitted to regular Panther turrets in Italy (the roof) so that might be a better starting point.
