Well I've painted the hatches and drivers open view, and a little more shading, and a few more top Coates, it's now ready for weathering.

What's your impression on that Panther. I really wanted to get it and almost did, because the paint job is amazing. But I read someone's review that suspension was poorly assembled or loose, wheels have no bearings and the heavy turret sags the plastic hull. Well, my torro tiger has the same problem, and I'll never get a metal turret on plastic hull again, but that was another problem supposedly in that panther, too.
Did you notice any of that? Anything you had to fix?

Hi
Personaly I don't think it's worth £300 !!!!! Diferant Mold to the Panther G so very little the same Also you could never battle it as its so bloody heavy, There was a few broken bits that were easerly fixed, Mainly cracks in the upper hull ,I only bought it just because it was a Ltd edition and wanted a Panther F, It's pretty accurate in measurements and angles hope this helps.Ps yes it's a little sagy on the suspension side.

What do you think, why it is not worth it? Unfortunately the "cheapest" way to aquire those tanks is by buying the complete RtR and painted kit. Buying unpainted tanks separately is even more expensive, from what I saw until now.
