Hmm, I was pricing the metal panther parts on rctank.de and it looked like it was much cheaper to get it in parts. Though I wasn't looking at the F turret, and was only interested in the plastic one, so I think it was only for the G turret.
I really love this F paint job though. That was the main reason I wanted to get it.

I was figuring to get another lower hull, and even then. You get the lower hull all inclsive for 240€, while it is metal hull, wheels, Motors and gear and metal tracks already at 270€.

When you sum up everything separatly you end up with 440€. The unpainted kit is 380€. And this goes more or less for all the tanks and parts.

Still my question. What do you think Price wise SpartanTracks? Looking forward to your other builds and improvements.

well, stuff like metal wheels, tracks, and some other things I priced at tankarmy.com. Much cheaper, even with shipping.

Maybe I am missing something, but I cant find the same parts on their site.

Price at the end of the day is not what it's worth , It's what someone's prepared to pay, and if you like it and can afford it you kind of have your answer, But in short you can pay £250 for a H/L Pro tank so for an extra £50 think what you get so YES ITS WORTH IT.

Ps I've got a 1/16 Panther G to finish weathering and a very trick Hooben Elefant build over the winter along with a literally massive overhaul and repaint of my 1/6 Jagdpanther.

Kind regards Andy

You can get a Promotion Panther G for $255 Oz dollars plus $50 p+p from HongKong. Then add metal wheels from Tank Army.

I'd love to know where is selling henglong pro models for £250 (and have them sell!!).

When I comes to new items the price is what the vendor says it is.

Estniche, the Taigen Panthers have higher quality sprockets wheels and tracks than the other you mention, and that doesn't come with the metal chassis I don't think.

Forgebear was doing the f for around £300 without electrics, which is pretty darn good especially given how good the new moulding is
