Jagdpanther 1/6 1st.SS or The Beast

[Wooly]

Is the main gun IR with flash or does it shoot bbs ? (Presumably big bbs)

I'd assume it fires golf balls......

Andy will probably put me straight, but I believe with the necessary modification, it can fire live ammunition. Probably illegal in the UK.

The sounds are from a Benedini TBS5 using panther sounds, although technically wrong due to the exhaust stacks, but I felt it was one of the better ones, I tried 4 other sound units before using this one. There are better ones now but not worth messing about, also the tbs5 is no longer being made.

It can't fire live rounds or use pyrotechnics now as the barrel is only fibreglass, it also has a 3d printed muzzle brake, so would damage most of that, yes it is also a Tiger muzzle for those that chose to be 100% accurate but I liked it!
It did have a starting pistol many years ago but are very messy and sound crap really.....

It is a very dodgy route when going down the live fire route, and what with health and safety these days, just not worth it

Looks great and what a lovely idle!

Hi Andy.
First class tank,
but the photography is superb, low angle shot in the right location and pin sharp focus.
your shot of it going away uphill, is now gracing my desktop @24" and no pixiation.
Great countryside too.
Cheers John W.

Im glad everyone is pleased with my 4 months hard work and should be good for many years to come, As per Trev said (Previous owner) there are know plans making the main gun active with blanks or otherwise , Recoil might be an idea many years in the future but at the momant I just want to drive it and enjoy it , Would anyone like some more videos with a little more noise ie min gun and machine guns)???????Regards Andy
