Thanks shaun best i can say about the old pantiger its good for parts for other projects, eg an early mark of panther other than the g type which is really all that is available. Also you have a ready made tiger 1 hull as well for a tiger 1 project from the pantiger so really you have enough parts for 2 separate projects a panther and a tiger 1 , a bonus.
bit more done slowly getting there
still loads more to do got to graft on a panther g barrel, make some weld lines, fit a switch, buy some tracks, fit tools and tool rails. make the exhaust stack securing brackets, paint etc, having trouble finding the dunkelgelb colour paint around the model shops near me. Also got to make and fit the side hanging wheel protection plates as well.
