Of course i can take pic's of the Panther for you. My pleasure mate.
The thing is I might need a bit of help. At work they call me "Hawkeye" because I've got pretty good eyesight. But for the life in me I can't recall seeing a Panther in there. I've seen the Jagdpanther but no Panther.
Having said that, no problem, If it's there I'll find it.
Anything specific or just everything ?
Let me know what you're after and I'll take it. I might struggle with anything above 6' because I didn't eat enough veg at boarding school and only grew to 5' 10" tall lol.

All the best,

Nick.

Hi Nick,
Thank you!

The Panther they have there is this one;

I'm after pictures of small detail really, the rear panel, any small details you would normally miss in whole tank shots. Shots of the rear convoy light would be great as well.

Thank you again mate!

Cheers,
Rik

I think the Panther has had a make over now, this is what they had when i last went, and it is in the new hall.

Hi Gents,
I tell you what. I can't',for the life in me, remember seeing the Panther in either of those paint schemes last July. I must have been walking around with my head in a bucket

Rik...I'll spend some time looking around the Panther and take some pic's of all the small detail stuff I can see. I'll email them to you when I get back.
I didn't know you had a Panther project on the go...any chance of some pic's ?

All the best,

Nick.

Thanks Nick

, any small details i'm interested in, especially casting numbers! If you see any please take pictures. I haven't started my Panther yet, it'll be a major restoration project, and I want to finish a few bits on the Sherman, and gather a few more parts before I start.

Cheers,
Rik

hi guys sorry to say that the film i thought i was taking did not !dam shame as it was the jadgpanther running around in all her glory , i hate digital cameras as in bright sun light you can not see what you are doing..........and the other pics i took were for my next subject. so i have nothing new too show you.........i trust Julies pics will come out ok............but i can show you that one of our team had fun by being a soldier for the day and was watched by thousands as he piled out of a troop carrier and went to fight the bad guys ..it was a cracking good show as always ........
Fleshy...........
