the Germans were experimenting with compound armour skirts - steel-concrete-wood layers in late '44/mid '45.  A few Panthers were fitted with mounts supposedly to take these but the same mounts were also fitted to other tanks to fit pontoon floatation devices for crossing rivers to Russia.

In late 1940s, the Israeli high command considered starting production of modified Panthers but it was never realized. :(

Something on my todo list, Flakpanther II with the Krupp 5.5cm turret, extra anti-air armour & maybe some Tiger II tracks.

Random idea:  Panther with Oscillating Turret.  Maybe even just use a turret from an AMX-13 and say that it was either a testbed vehicle or an upgrade?

Found this randomly on Reddit awhile ago, I quite like the concept & might try 3D printing it in the future.
