That leaves the flame suppressors on the stock G and F. Let me know what you are looking for and I'll see what I can do ok?
When I do a Panther (which will probably be my next project...after I build the funds), I want to do an early Ausf G from the 12th SS PzDiv at Normandy. That will be without the chin on the mantlet, without the crew heater (basically the same rounded vent on the rear deck on both sides), and with the single piped exhaust using the cast armored covers. You could do the exhaust from an Ausf A tank that HL already makes and just lop off the two side pipes on the portside exhaust pipe. I'm not sure that the KT exhausts are the same as the Panther; in fact, I'm pretty sure that they're not. See the attached pages from one of Trojca's books to see the different exhausts used on an Ausf G.
