Re: New tank but what is it?
The pantiger is not a bad tank the main areas are the front sloping armour and the wheels but as steenv said they can be made to look not bad at all here are some pics of a couple of ones I did the winter one is now in France sold it on ebay.

Re: New tank but what is it?
That winter one looks awesome!! I have a picture of a Panther as my wallpaper, I looked at that and then the Pantiger and did notice the slope at the front was wrong, I thought something was up with the turret at first but didn't notice the wheels were wrong haha!
If I do receive the Pantiger will I be making the mods? Probably not at first, I don't have enough modelling experience yet but if I receive the tiger I can fix the inaccuracies thanks to the handy guide at RC Universe
Ohh and I love the winter camo!!!!!

Re: New tank but what is it?
I was so disgusted with the look of the two S & S "Pantigers" I broke them up for parts. I will recycle the hulls and use them as blown-up field wrecks to obsure their hideousness. On the other hand the last tank I bought from Heng Long was the Stug III and it looks fantastic.

Re: New tank but what is it?
I also really like the look of the Stug, when I get on my hands on some working low profile gearboxes its time to turn the Panzer III into one when Stug upper hulls are at Welsh Dragon

Re: New tank but what is it?
Don't be too sore on the old "pantiger", a heck of a lot of us bought these when there was nowt else available and just worked with what we had. My old Jagdpanther is most upset now!
we fight not for glory, nor riches, nor honours, but for freedom, which no honest man gives up but with his life.

Re: New tank but what is it?
Hi along with making a Jagdpanther you can cut of the Pantiger as I am currently . It was going to be a battlefield wreck but if it looks any good when Ive done I might re fit the electronics . you need to narrow it make it longer and a whole load of chopping ::)
