Good afternoon, Gentlemen

Here’s my “what if” Kanonenjagpanzer 2 (KaJaPa 2) “Eber”.

It’s a Takom VT 1-2 in a “what-he-could-have-looked-like-in-1985-configuration”. I mainly added some (modified) Leopard 1 side skirts from Perfect Scale Modellbau but also pioneer tools, a stowage box, two antennas, jerry cans, MG mount and MG, smoke dischargers, towing cables as well as a modified/scratch built periscope (because the driver would not have seen something because of the smoke dischargers … :roll_eyes: :grimacing: ) and a few parts other from the spare parts box (IR searchlight, spare tracks, grab handels, ice cleats for the tracks).

Hope you like this what-if beast …

Designers sometimes have weird ideas. :grin:

Cool, a well-thought-out what-if version of it :slight_smile: I’ve seen a few others that didn’t go beyond painting and markings, but you’ve done much better by adding the kind of stuff that would be on a service vehicle as well.

I mention this because here’s what I did with that kit to turn it into a Belgian JPK 120:

I like the way it looks in NATO three-tone camo! I know they weren’t practical, but it sure looks cool…

Outstanding ! To be honest, this was the one that motivated me to create mine … :innocent: :wink:

I take it that means you thought to yourself: “What a mess he made of that, I’ll show him how to do it properly!” :wink:
