Panther

[43rdRecceReg]

I saw some mind-blowingly detailed model interiors (various scales) at the Swiss Military Museum at Full, Ronnie. It's really refreshing to see such a model coming together here
There's a trip around the Museum here in pics. You'll see some of the models and diorama display cases on pages 13 and 18. It's a pity there are no closeups.

Hey there Ronnie. You have an amazing Panther there and do build the details on the reamains of th kit you have taken for the RC tank is just fantastic. I like that alot.

Thanks Soeren Yes its a nice kit, has a few issues like the electics. The 1/35 kits show more moulded in cable runs , need a good book with lots of interior photos. Am trying to find pics of the hydraulic hoses round the transmission would be a good upgrade. No shell exhaust gas tube in kit. Lots of mg ammo boxes but no gurtsack for the AA mg.

While I admire your dedication, part of me recommends you are restrained and sedated !
I'd say on the scale of patience, you & ole Mother Theresa would be closely related !!

From a selfish point, if you dont want to, or cant be assed using those ice cleats, I would love them for an upcoming project

If i had the patience of a saint it would be , spent time sorting out build plan , buy everything needed and have an efficient work flow. Don't think my builds show that.
