Hi guy's,
I was woundering what PE set (Eduard) kan I use for Dragons Panther Normandy.
Can I use the PE set for Dragons Panther A early or does this not fit the Normandy version?.
And has anyone build the kit, and how is it?

TIA Jan-Willem

The DML Panther A Normandy is a nice kit, to be accurate it needs zimmerit ( I believe) . I personally would at least use an eduard gun barrel on it and the Zoom grill set also from Eduard. The only thing to watch out for on the kit is the fit of upper hull to lower.

As far as I know, (which is not that much), most of it should.

But if you ar at it, why not go for the Aber super-set.

It has their barrel (the 88mm for the Jagdpanther looks awesome, I am building it now!!), thread for the tow-cables, all PE-needed (details, skirts, grilles) and IIRC some wooden bocks (for the jacks). You will get some extra's however, as it is for the Ausf. D and all versions of the A.

Aber makes a nice set for the DML Panthers too.

Here is what PMMS had to say about it:

I have the Aber super set for the panther. All I an say is WOW. I have yet to build it, because I think it would take the better part of six months just to do the build! :-)
