Well folks, next month I will go for a new tank, a Panther.
It will be a Taigen, but right now not sure whether it will be a G or an F type.
Taigen offers both of them, each with a different camo paint.
I went almost through the entire "show off" topics, and if i recall well, some member mentioned he did something with the Panther springs form the road wheels, turned them if I am not wrong.
If this member reads this, or if any of you guys know who did the spring thing, please let me know how you/he did it.
I am still a bit in doubt whether adding a couple of track links will solve the problem.
Would stronger springs lift the tank some up front?
Well...problem...???....actually it is my problem.
Still think on the real panthers the sprocket wheels are sitting higher towards the hull, compared to the models.
Here are some pics again

It is about center of the sprocket in line with the upper section of the rubber ring on the first road wheel?
Here are two pictures. First my Tagen Jagdpanther. Second, a recent dragon kit.
Not too far apart , I would say.ImageImage

Le left was actually broke down. Here would be the correct height. So Tagen is slightly too low. Based on a broke down torsion bar.Image
