Hi All,

The Mrs eventually calmed down ( After several vodka's ) and even declared that she was quite impressed with the jagdpanther. I'm not sure if I should be pleased or worried.  :-\
I'll check out what motors I have fitted when I take the lid off later today.

Cheers
John

Had the lid off the jagd and no surprises. Standard HL plastic boxes and white cap motors. Took the opportunity to grease the boxes and fitted some shielding to stop the grease getting everywhere.

At some time in the future I will fit metal boxes and tracks which is when I'm expecting the problems to begin. The jagd has very soft suspension and no doubt the extra weight will make the front end sag.

Has anyone had this problem already with the HL Jagdpanther?

Cheers
John

Hi John, pleased to hear the missus has calmed down. I really fancy the Jagdpanther, another favorite of mine. When will we see you back at the ranch mate?

All the best - Brian

Your not training your wives correctly!
The conversation should go,'' i have bought a large tank and i plan to spend a considerable amount upgrading it,and will be painting it in the living room/kitchen''.
                    Wife will smile and pass you a large drink to celebrate.

                                            Im on my second wife!

i have stiffened up the front be adding a new locating hole for the spring in the hull. it is a bit bouncier but the front now stays up.

Yes John, my WIP will be there, starting to take shape now. Reworked the fenders & side skirts out of aluminium roof flashing, pictures appearing soon. Also the mantlet is taking som working out but I think I'm getting there. See you Thursday mate.

Brian

PS sorry John did you manage to find the other exhaust and the headlight off the T34 - I managed to get a full set of tracks off Chris.
