Just got this today in the mail and had to let you know. I saw an ad in MMIR #30 page 58 for a Panther Ostwallturm by Farina Enterprises and had to have it . Let me tell you it looks great! You have to supply the turrent of course but the base is molded beautifully. They also sent me a price list desciption of their other items(made me wish I would have spent the $8.00 for a catalog). The base is about 6x6 and was only $12.00. Let me know if anyone out there has anything else from this company. I e-mailed them first to make sure they had it in stock and it took afew days for them to get back to me but it was worth the wait.

Sorry don't own a camera or a scanner but if you can find the issue of Military Miniatures in Review I mentioned though ad is small it will give you some idea as to the item. When I complete the kit I will try to put some pixs up. If you would like to see a real one try jagdtiger.de.

I think it`s for space for the ammunution, I have a drawing fom a Panzerturm stellung with a steel box and the turret was on the same place as the concrete one.

I wil looke for that drawing and maybe there is a logical explenation why the turret is off center
