Re: PANTHER G ZU-FUSS
Hmm, but really wish I had have got nice, consistent CNC ones
Completed the set, drilled the 1mm holes for the dress pin retainers and now need to secure them to the cross plate.
Once on the hull & all tested for fit, I will add the retainer pin chains.
I am waiting for Schurzen to arrive from Germany (Modelblau) so I can carry on with things, but I still have the notorious mounts to make now

Yip, its getting alright...............edpanzer wrote:Getting there Herman looking good

Just seems to be hurry up & wait now...............

Got the spare track hangers on the mounting rails tonight. Just wish I had bought them, if for nothing else other than consitencey.
Nothing is more testing than two sets of pliers & a 1mm drill bit in a cordless drill.

Still have the pin retaining chains to secure once on the tank, but these will do.
The middle track links will be either omitted or reduced to one link only to allow space for the rear "gadget" for the rocket to mount onto.
I have no idea when/if my schurzen will arrive from Germany, and its going to be a pain to get the rockets mounted before the skirts are fitted. I feel a break coming on

Herman,
Beautiful work on those track hangers. I understand where you are coming from. Don't let the chains and pins frustrate you. They really add a lot to the realism once they are installed and working.

Painless

Re: PANTHER G ZU-FUSS
Keep on going Herman... I love the brass work and the way that the rear engine guards actually hinge !..
I am desperate to see the rockets fitted !........It IS worth all the effort
