Heres another pic, inserted the pantiger turret ring into the g deck , a lot of cutting, shutting and lots more to do to get it right, detail wise.

Tigerx2,
No plans to use or make a working gun travel lock there? This build is really coming along very nicely!

Nice work, looks oddly good in primer.

R01 is a nice choice, seen in a lot of books.

I have avoided doing a Panther build simply because of the harm that HENG LONG caused when they introduced the World to the PanTiger BUT when I see what you are doing I might yet change my mind,
A lovely job, which has shown me there is hope for a Panther in my collection yet :thumbup: :thumbup:

I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
