Are we sure for the brand? Dragon and Tamiya have a version too. I believe Dragon's version has the hatch separated.

The Tamiya Jagdtiger details don't match, the Nichimo is a dead match (IMHO ).
Hi Stonki.
I have no doubt that the Nichimo is the Absolute one.
I just believe that if more options are available to make it look correct even without the perfect donnor, it might interest some people who can not find easily or do not mind if it is the one as long as it looks exactly the same.
It's extra option/knowledge to help around.
1000% agree, substitute to taste. That said, this thread is about IDing the donor parts which is why I wanted to present the best evidence to that case. Your question was "Are we sure for the brand?", and I believe that in this context the answer is yes, yes we are.
Big Dog,
On Picture 8, the light-blue coded "AMT Wheel (?)" is the AMT 1/25 Fruehauf Texaco/Shell Tanker Truck, its an inside rim piece.
Big Dog,
Great maps, thanks!
Picture #4, the green mystery "Steering Wheel" looks very much like the Monogram 1/48 B-17GView attachment 659978 steering yoke - or the Revell 1/48 B-17F steering yoke, essentially the same part. Both kits hit the market in 1975, so it's a "high-likelihood" donor, I think. On the sprue pictured here, it is on the far left side, about midway up the sprue, and there are two of them per kit.
1/48 is to big. 1/72 is the correct scale. I have sized it from the Red Jammer resin kit I have at home. I thought 1/48 at first myself.....
Wow, great! Thanks for sharing that. Would that be the same piece for the rest of the Ys too?
