Woops, sorry mate, but this ones Mr Frankies baby...............not mine I wish..............

I just ran out to my Panther & got a 1/16th officer figure to put next to it, and that mock-up in the B&W pic seems much bigger than my little experiment, plus Ive stood on/next to, and inside several real Panthers all round the place & that pic just seems like ole-mate is a bit out of scale !!! even if he is real :crazy:

Looks like they pick the smallest guy in the factory to stand beside it. Propaganda. Make the tank seem larger than it is?

..the guy in the publicity shot looks shorter than these guys..unless, without the weight of a "real" turret the hull's riding high....

Good morning,
It is a beauty, Frank. I'm chuckling at the scale issues mentioned and the photos. I notice that the 'prototype' uses an early Panther hull. Would that have anything to do with the deck height vs the worker?
regards,
Painless
