I should count myself lucky, I can build tanks knowing that there are no wild animals in this country that are going to bite me while I am doing so... :P
Thanks Mr Wobbly, I have been gawking on in bewilderment with your printing-press machine busting out miracles each run, they are such a breakthrough for this hobby IF you know how to use them .

Got the commanders NVG station on, just got to cable it up.
The bucket is mounted, but not weathered as yet.
This really has been the "ambitious-build" that I was warned it would be.............glad its virtually done.
As far as Panther builds go, this is well short in some areas, but overall Im pretty happy the way its turned out.

Herman,
Sweet bucket! The Panther is itself, a work of art. A long build but one full of rewards.
Regards,
Painless

Personally Herman...this is the best one you've done so far....think the most you spent on one as well :haha: :haha: ...but the reward is there sir...the Panther is really coming to life :thumbup: ....Now only one question...did you salvage that bucket from your other tank..or is this a new one?? :think:

Nice to see the end of the tunnel on this one Herman...Just don't let the dog out before you test run the Gem ;)

No mate, this is a new bucket. All bar one(PzIII Munition) are along the same theme. They are all different.
The inside test runs have been successful, dog turd will be purged from the back yard and the outdoor trials will begin this week.
Cables have been run for the commanders station, the bucket is on, and I am going to call this one done.
Short of a figure or two this is complete to my initial minds-eye vision of what a late Panther fitted with saturation rockets might look like.

I will do a show off thread once outdoor trials are ticked off.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM :think: ...I can't quite remember...but I do recall seeing one bucket with two flowers on it....are the flowers a numerical indicator for each tank?....If it is...that's pretty clever of you Herman :clap: ...If it's just coincidence...then never mind :haha: :haha:

Can't wait to see your show off thread...it's always good to see the model from afar ...think this one will stand out quite a bit :thumbup:

Not much gets past you sunshine !!
The Jagdpanther had one flower visible when it was hung, the White Tiger 2, the PzIII munition has a plain one(out of sync but seemed necessary)the Octopus King Tiger should have had this one, but I simply cocked up the order :/ & the 4 flower version is now hung on it .At some stage I might swap them over.
I can see a limit to the floral ability of tank/bucket/flower ratio, but for now I will keep up the trend.
