Which modifications will be needed to make a Panther CLV out of Italerie`s IVECO Lince? I think the missing Enforcer RWS will be the biggest problem.

Hello Hans-Hermann,

I have made som cursory comparisons between the Italeri Lince kit and pics of the MMK CLV kit, and from what I can tell the CLV also has completely different roof, rear stowage compartment and side windows, not to mention all the anti IED equipment.

This is just from studying shots of the MMK kit and comparing it with my Italeri Lince, though, so there could be many more differences I have not noted. No doubt there are interior differences as well.

I have been hoping that MMK would spin off their full resin kit to a conversion for the Italeri model, but so far it has not happened. I'd love to see a Panther CLV in plastic (or at least a conversion for the Italeri kit).

Cheers,
Sven

Some pics of a 1:1 CLV may help...

Certainly good pics of Panther CLV in the new book from WWP Publications.

Thanks guys, I think I should better go with the MMK release.

H-H,

MMK Models are usually very nice, the sad thing about their Panther is that all the doors and hatches are all molded closed which is a real shame. Perhaps use it as a conversion for the Italeri kit?

Look forward to hearing about your progress, and hopefully a build logg here soon!
