Are the exhausts the type with 3 exhaust tubes on the left side and one on the right? If that's the case, you can get them from the Tamiya Jagdpanther "M" sprue. http://www.ebay.com/itm/9115200-Tami...p2047675.l2557

Those engine exhaust manifold cooling pipes were used primarily on Ausf.A Panthers... that and early/mid Jagdpanthers.
I would bend some brass tubing and sand down the armored guards that come with the Tamiya Panther, then add some Mr. Surfacer for that cast look.

Rather than canibalize, you could always use local the lowes metal sheets they sell. I saw some pretty easily bendable material when i was scouting for metal for my own scratch built tank. You could fashion some exausts from that. Sorry if this is a bad idea. You could get some cipper piping possibly and use different diameters to form an exhaust.

You could also get a set from the Taigen/HL Pantiger (Panther A).

Or, order direct from China...

Very nice find...wonder if he can make the rounded, cast version, too...
He also has a lot of other good detail parts for the Panther G, including the rounded, chinless mantlet.

Thanks pilliphat,I'm going the cheap route with a 90% accurate tank ,I wonder if they are hollow so I can use a smoker?oh well any way the budget for the panther 2 has been severely cut,I'm gearing up to order a Lowe from Ludwig ,in any case I really enjoyed construction of a project from the ground up,I considered building the tamiya jagdpanther, but anyone can bolt one of those together,I feel my skill set must really grow with each challenge I face in scratch building details,this will net a lot of growth once completed.

Yes I ordered those ,and considering I have a new infatuation with "paper tanks" I feel a mix of of small detail parts are acceptable,for me in any case I may end this project with a rolling chassis that I can return to later for completion,thank you for the link.
