I know the plastic won't be as durable, but I'm not planning on dropping it anytime soon once I make it.
The biggest thing holding me back is trying to figure out how to do the Damage LED as Hetzers didn't have any copula or round entry hatches on the upper deck. I'll figure something out to hide it. Actually all the IR stuff will be a pain to figure out.
I plan on building the super structure using plastic card and not an actual scale model kit. So I'll have a lot of flexibility there. I'll use parts from that to detail it up and use some of the pieces from the plastic kit I can't create with plastic card.
I just need to get my Panther and a Hetzer kit to see if the project is even feasible. Right now I don't see why not. If I do it, I'll keep every body posted.
