Hey Doc.... Is there any other way to do it ?doc larsson wrote:let me guess... it's gonna be desert camo with a chick in the turret ?
It's definitely a beauty. But then, I also want a StuG. And a Leopard 2A6. And an M41 Walker Bulldog. And I still need to even begin fixing up my Konigstiger. So, yeah ... It's a bad time to be poor!ALPHA wrote:If you are able to .... definitely get one of these when the opportunity arises Lert.... I think I like it better than the JagdLert wrote:Mmmmmmm. Sexy Panther.
Well... when the opportunity does arise... this one should be on top of that wish list...even if I went in the Historical direction...this tank is very well done...Heng Long left out some subtle details...but just about everything is in the package...even the internals are pretty well sorted ...I can't tell you Lert...this is a quickie.. but dang is it a fun one to work and play withLert wrote:It's definitely a beauty.

Yes the sprue is Tamiya.... the Demon god of detail came and spoke to me in the few hours of dream time I had yesterday... said this tank is too sweet not to go a few more yards with...I met that challenge with a lot of hesitation... especially on some of the vent covers...but after doing the convoy light said heck...may as well go for it lolPainlessWolf wrote:Alpha,
All of this looks amazing! Did you get the Panther Sprue from Tamiya? I used a Jagdpanther Sprue for some of the things on my Panther G build. Lastly, your convoy light, is it intended to replace the molded on one above it? Sweet work on a great tank. ;o) ( Yes, the hatch handles are fragile. I broke two on the turret before I caught myself ;o)

if you do more to it are you going to reclasify it to a "slow-ey"
...You don't know how much I had to fight with myself Herman...especially with the turret vent and the vent under the gun support..Heng Long actually did a good job for a RTR everything was basically there... I had three books to reference from...and after scouring through them found what Heng Long had done was dang close ...It was only after studying the Tamiya Sprues that I found tiny little things that stood out...like the hatch ring ...it extended a little longer than the Heng Long...the two dimples in the rear covers right above the exhausts weren't present... the venting ports under the turret vent weren't there... and there are four dimples on the vent cover between the driver's and gunner's hatch that weren't present... that one was super minor as the gun support Heng Long provided actually covers it
