Panther Gs Detail upgrades

This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

It is a kit. It consists of a few turned parts and PE.

Here you go. I was so sure not to buy one of those tiny add ons for the price of a full grown 1/35th scale kit. Not enough resistance towards ABER bling. This is what you get. A very nicely turned one piece break together with all the fittings. You glue the section with the thread into the barrel and then screw everything on. The locking latch can be secured by an optional turned hex bolt instead of a pe folded hex head. What the instructions don't tell you is to cut the flattened section from the Tamiya barrel , which is almost 1.5 cm too long anyways.Image

Hi Soeren Can you do us a favour and do a mini build of the muzzle break. Had an image in my head of flat PE , rolling it into cone and cylinder shapes then soldering it all together 8O

Hey there, I bought it from sockelshop.de.
This as far as I can get it atm. The other fittings and counter locking rings to be placed inside can be fitted as soon as I am back at my bench next week. Image

Their labeling is wrong aber 16l15 is for the Panther. My box says Panther and the instructions show a panther. SdKfz171 is a Panther. They just mislabelled the Roman number. When you see the parts in the picture you see a Panther muzzle break. Just checked in my order log. It was the product in the link. An the link is complete an works fine for me. Don't know what is the issue there, sorry.
Edit: I see, they now seem to have pictured of ABER16L16 in that. Still the order number refers to the Panther muzzle brake. As I said this number is in my order log and I clearly got the Panther piece. Maybe you point them towards that. You could order from Rctank.de as well. They have it too.
