Hi Paul , Heres the mounting brackets for one side . I started making them in styrene but it just wasnt strong enougth . So Ive made them from brass . I just got them mounted for the photo when I realised one slot for the bracket to slide into had come of . So you will see ones missing

Wow Andy, you've really been coming along with this! Its excellent to see how far you've taken a simple Pantiger to looking like a genuine Panther.
Fantastic work!
Cheers,
Rik

Hi Rik. Thanks mate . Im still watching your build even tho Ive been a bit quiet . Its looking very good . Heres another picture showing , now all the skirt mounting brackets . They are removable . I made the other side ones today but ran out of styrene for the slots

Thanks Chris for your comment . Ive got hold of some correct diameter steel cable today . My local B&Q havent had any in for a while so bourght 4 meters . Going to need it for my projects. Ive removed the tracks now as need the narrower Panther tracks as the stock Tiger / Pantiger ones are to wide .

Made the skirts today from styrene sheet , still got the otherside to do yet . And heres some photos showing some of the other small detail done .Ive still got the barel lock and rear jack mount to make , track holders and rear tool holder for the hammer then its onto the turret . And then spraying time .

His Chris , Yer your right there . However its a short length on the Panther I found it more difficult to bend it to the Tiger style .

All the best Andy
