My lates addition, build purchased off eBay

Post by BarryC »

Saw this today and could not pass it up. I have been looking for a good deal on a Tamiya Jagdpanther. I would have purchased a kit but this one looks like a quality build and way cheaper than the F/O kits are going for.

It has a steel Darryl Turner track tension kit, metal tracks, gearbox brace, metal elevation arm for the barrel. It has metal tracks and roadwheels with a full bearing kit. :D

Very nice. I bought my Hooben T-55A from that guy and it was a cobbled up POS that I still haven't been able to get running right. That one looks good though. Hopefully he packages better than he did with the T-55A.

Great bargain and a nice looking tank but please paint that fire extinguisher an appropriate color when you get it. I won’t sleep well until you do.

I find using incorrect spellings in the search can open up a whole fresh list of items that get missed :thumbup:

Looks great with zimmerit. Only repaint fire extinguisher and copper rope ;) Bit of weathering and it will be great model.

I contacted him about the shipping as it is a big concern. He assured me it would be packed well, this will be my evidence should it arrive damaged and poorly packed.

I checked his feedback and it is 100% positive. Sounds like you should have left him a lower mark. ;)

Perhaps as Mick suggest, just luck. ;)
