Hi Alpha buddy :wave: yes been a little since ive done a complete build, always wanted to do a panther d to add to panther collection and had a spare taigen pantiger complete so hence start of a new build. ive also used bottom half of pantiger to start another tiger 1 as i had a spare deck and turret for a tiger 1. but this i might just do a basic build and sell on. anyway heres the panther d ive started on turret and ripped apart a g rear panel and changed exhaust stacks, all looking rough at moment but at least its started. Need to change barrel on turret and redo weld lines as well not happy with lines i did at base of cuppola, so far on turret ive shaved turret and got rid of all g ports etc and added applicable to a d panther and added a modified tiger 1 cuppola as its very similar just different viewing slots and hatch, heres pics anyway

You're really getting some work done on this one Tiger....I do remember the last time we spoke...that you had a bunch of spare parts...it's nice when you can find a project you can direct that too..... I'll probably do the same...Dgsselkirk posted a Japanese Chi Nu....so after my M1...I'm going to do some scrounging in my parts box too lol

Looks to be a really cool build...will be following along :D

the old pantiger ive used the turret from, and bottom half has been used for a tiger 1 :crazy:. It was a taigen with metal tracks and gears these were swopped into another tiger 1 i have so it really was a bitsa for other projects.

Yes its what the pantiger is good for i still cant believe how many new ones are still for sale and at the high price they command considering how inaccurate they are, good luck with the m1 build look forward to seeing it completed.
