Very special topic. Is this build strait out of the box? I do not think so, because I never saw a set like this for the Battle of the Bulge. Maybe you can tell us a little more.

But, great display!

I almost missed this, with all the flurry of postings here on Bennos. Of course, this is great as always and, like MABO would love to hear more pf the back story on this vehicle.

Very nice and very different.

Operation Greif was the idea to use captured and disguised material such as this Panther to cause confusion in the American forces .

Kampfgruppe X had the M10 disguised Panthers .

The Battle of the Bulge book then and now has full details of this operation.

Great work on an unusual subject matter.

Best wishes,

Chris

Aha, I get it now! Sneaky Germans - that would look like an M10 from a distance.

Fine work, and particularly so if this is a model-conversion of a 1/72 Panther. Please tell us more about how this was constructed.

I found some nice information of this well built model:
