Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I think this is kinda like a kitbash- does anyone know what the turret is made from?

It may have started life as an M47/M48 but its not how its ended up now.  Looks like a Panther mantlet.  Its actually very atypical of late-war German tanks in that the turret is obviously cast.  The Germans never went in for casting on that scale, preferring to fabricate from flat plates welded together.

I'd actually say it was an early Leopard 1 turret, which was quite rounded.

Think so too!  :thumbsup: The flat, slightly raised plate around the hatches and the range finder ports also looks very Leo 1-ish.
