Frank n Jagdpanther

I'm working on a kit bashed jagdpanther, turning it into a late war frank -n- tank

I used the wheels on another kit, so steel wheels are being used, which are not painted and a panzer yellow colored gun barrel on a dark green upper & lower hull

I want to show the wheels new from the factory and need to know if they have the red brown primer color in a spray can

Just my thoughts.....
It might be a play on words,as in "Frankenstein"...... Man made of other's parts...
"Frank'n Tank".... Tank made up using some parts from other Tanks?!
Just a guess,but possible?!

Okay....do you have any reference pics of said Frank n tigers as I have never heard of it. I know the Germans used incomplete tanks towards the end especially in the defence of Berlin and they used turrets built on top of concrete bunkers, but I have never heard of the existance of a heavy tank battalion equiped with such creations.

Don't quote me here...
... But I get the feeling it's not based on anything in particular,let alone a complete Battalion.... Was just a "What if" type of thing?!....
I'm sure the occasional "Freak" Tank happened through adversity....

I am not expert on these things but to me that looks just like a late Tiger 1. So what you are saying is that you are constructing a "fantasy" tank which is based really upon your imagination. Have I got that right? I am not trying to be difficult, just trying to get my head around what your project is because if I am correct and it is a fantasy vehicle, why would you worry about paint color etc. Take Panthermans pink Panther avatar as an example.
