Very nice!
Appreciate the detailed build photos and reference material. Besides the obvious appliqué armor, relocated guns and hardware, can you point out some of the smaller details you thought were important?
I will be saving this thread!

Very nice work Karl, up armoured E8’s are one of those tanks that just has to be built, did you know that the modification’s to these tanks were done is various Belgian factories using the vast amount of destroyed Sherman’s for the front glacis plate, the Firefly will when completed be the ultimate Tiger killer in your collection, I await it’s completion

Pretty nice, this is one I have reservations on building as I have everything to go, including the 1/35th to get measurements from too.

Great job, love the details.
This is a tank on my list to build also.
Is that resin engine deck and grills an after market kit?
If so where did you get it?

Well done Panzer 5
,
It is very childish to pretend that one has built a special tank oneselve, when it was in fact bought as a fully completed model whichone doesn't even have in ones possession yet.
It is an outright deception to publish picturesfrom the actual construction as if it was yours.
There is only one word for this, shameless !!!!!

RE: 1/16
Wow Karl,
All you had to do was tell us you bought the most fantastic model from John and Elfi and that you wnated to share their work with us. Why bend the truth and say it was your build? We trust the people on this forum and you have broken that trust. Puts all the work you have done in question, even if you did the work we have no way of knowing if you did or didn't. I am sad to read this.[
