Panther Skirts
I am thinking of adding skirts to my Panther G. Any suggestions on aftermarket or scratchbuilding techniques? I could probably plastic card for the skirt but an unsure how to attach them to the hull. Help is appreciated.

Re: Panther Skirts
there is an aftermarket set skirts and hooks that is cheaper than profline about £45 from welsh dragon models made in Germany forgot the make about £25,each skirt has 2 rectangle holes along the top edge,the holes are spaced different on first and last skirt,each skirt hangs on 2 hooks that are fixed on that rail that runs from the front mudguard along side,the skirts overlap with the rearmost going on first each skirt shares a hook with the next skirt that overlaps,I will scan some pics of the hooks/skirts in a weeks time,unless someone beats me to it!
Re: Panther Skirts
I've recently got a Panther, I was thinking of just using plasticard comes in A4 sheets of various thicknesses. I made my own track hangers from a thin aluminium sheet, probably make similar ones for schurzen hangers.
(Plasticard is less than a £1 a sheet)

Easter soon, use this idea http://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/v ... =38&t=7391" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; If you get the diagrams you can make them easy enough, plus you can shape them to look damaged.

Re: Panther Skirts
I bought a 'photo etched' set for the Panther G. They were ok, but upon reflection not really worth the money. In future I'll be spending a couple of quid on some black plasticard and making my own.
