Fine looking cat you have there, love to have something that size, wouldn't have to use my glasses to do the detailing!

I'll keep an eye on this one.

Liking Howards work. Very tidy chassis, sheet steel? Is the suspension original or has that been replaced/upgraded?

Brilliant, well done Cliff. Now I am ashamed of the Jagdpanther. I painted the inner hull in Rust colored primer. Yours looks great and how is the stability,solid? Sure looks it.

What have you done to change the suspension? Is it the mounting position of the control arm shafts? Stronger I would say. Really looks the part Cliff, fine job!

cheers Blake, she's solid as a rock and runs a lot smoother now its 24v , the suspension is basically the same sort of set up just made stronger and different springs , if you want any close up pics of anything just give me a shout
regard's, Cliff
