I got some Paper panzer turrets from John from Paper Panzer Productions. Great stuff, so I used the Ammo of Mig King Tiger with a new turret and a Paper Panzer Productions update kit for the Hetzer. Some Details are missing and the main gun (88mm L/100) is not glued:

The turret looks very T54ish doesn't it. Was this an actual Third Reich design or one that's been made up by kit manufacturers? With these Paper Panzers I never know as it's not something I've ever delved into.

Interesting look!
Though gotta admit I love the Henschel turret's graceful lines.

The roundish turret seems to have been inspired by that of the PzKpfw VII Lowe, another paper panzer.

The turret shape leads the way to both, the M48 and the Leopard 1.
This paintjob is absolutely not my cup of tea. Technically a great one, but once again as unique as a snowflake -like every one of them...
