Hello gentlemen, Thank you very much for the compliments. The barrel in the pic 6 is from a german jagdpanther, it is a reconstitution modèle, 1/1scale. The wheels (16 on 16), the tracks (44 on 86) & the back door are originals. I don't know if I can show photos of my german collection. The tracks in photo 7 comes from a M3 A1 Stuart US tank. (see détail photo). Best regards from Alsace , France. Carfin. -
