Hello guys and girls (yes, I'm sure there is some).
First of all, I'm french, so please don't be cruel :-)
OK, I'm looking for informations and photos of the top of the turret of the real M1 panther II.
it's the mess to find information on the JB and the wires from the smoke grenade launchers and the thijk control antenna.
I'm gonna make plans of the parts to make the good shape and proportion and can give them.
thanks a lot for your help
friendly french...

Driller,
Send me a PM with your e-mail address. I can assist with the "turret" shots. I redid the cabling and GSL mounts on my PII and need to get on to the bustle rack, once I finish what is on my desk (M4A1 Mortar HT conversion and a Centauro B1)
John.

I'm glad to see you're safe now, hope you will not go for another tour of duty,
it's not political but I know it's hard to be far from his family, even when it's "safe".
I think, that you're great when you serve your country.
