Panther Ausf G looking for HL info.

Alpha,
Aye. Heng Long lists this Sherman now as the 3841-01 Mine is the elder 3841 from almost a decade ago. Still runs strong. I have had to replace the tracks and rechargable 4.7 battery, I just ordered another set of tracks off of Ebay so parts are still available. These new tracks have to have a center guide horn removed since the road wheels and idlers are center grooved now so that is a tiny bit of a pita. I have an old thread detailing that fun from the last time the tracks let go on the forum here. Panther should have fun modeling his once he finds it and should look around for an older 3841 like mine to get the more accurate running gear off of it. I cut down the barrel on mine and added a brass sleeve. Also, I added a .50 cal and turret detail antenna and touched up the paint. This tank can be made to look much better than out of the box. Interesting note. The road wheels on the 1/30 are the same sort of hollow backed ones that are on the new M4A3. I speculated when I first saw the adverts for the new Heng Long Sherman that they had scaled up their existing 1/30 M4A3. *chuckles* Godzilla? Oh Yeah! I have a few. That one is the uber articulated version from a couple of years ago.
warm regards,
Painless

The new one sound like a good buy... since I got rid of mine eons ago... I was tempted even though I had no idea they had made any changes... but remembering it was kind of a small tank... I opted for the larger version...to which I feel was worth the wait as well as every penny

all I can say about Godzilla is... He rocks!!! Just picked up a really rare King Gidora in Aug 2013... old stock from a store that was closing here.... did you know they stopped making those ?

Have a good one Painless

A good day today.
I had a word with Horses about flying lessons and his instructor.
said ok.

My wife said. It will be like the tanks, it wont stop with one.

So




Guess what, she's right.




But I found what I was looking for a set of hairy sticks (got to do some painting).No I found the 1/30th Sherman, still looking for the painting equipment, well there is always tomorrow.
Now to take some shots of the Sherman as it is, and wait for the tips to flood in.

Hi Painless.
Tried some pic's yesterday, not too happy with them. Taken indoors bit dark. but I will post them once they have been to Photobucket.
Tomorrow looks like a better day may try more pic's outside.
At the moment I'm charging the battery, then give it a go.

[Panther Ausf G]

Here goes with the pic's from yesterday, not very good.
I will try again tomorrow outside.
