WHAT-IF PANTHER BASED V1 LAUNCHER

[HERMAN BIX]

I dread to think !!

I'm actually pretty stoked to have used a much maligned Pantiger deck to cover the upper hull !!
Plus I kept the vents & grills for future use, just in case

Are you trying to bring the fan base of the Pantiger back to their feet? Fun stuff working without blueprints for a build.

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Well, now I have seen a Womble video. What will I learn next on RCTW?

Ohhhh yess the fun rocket schlepper build is Back!

Bit more done.
Shaped the side plates and added some features!
I’m sure you get the concept !

Going to get primer on it tomorrow.
Arranged some tools on the deck and a tow cable on the rear.
I grafted an old jack onto the on/off switch to hide it & placed a few bits in spots that seemed to need them!
Periscope covers and handd dc les done.
Hocked up the night sight spotlight and tested the rotation.
It can run for now on a V7 board until some time when I can justify a 7.1 to run the elevation servo.
It doesn’t need much more really & it may never see a 7.1!
Once the base green is on I get to try and replicate the camo system on its radar carrying partner vehicle, that won’t be easy !

[MrChef]

Well that's moving along very nicely. I like your repositioning of the tools, makes sense especially the way Gen 2 Jagdpanthers moved their tools around in certain units. Where did you source those nifty aluminum caps? Those are nice.

Primer and base coat :tick
Straight XF-58 Olive Green over the red oxide.
Some slight touch ups with XF-81 here & there to highlight but it’s not very visible.

And after the cricket test had ended got the splinter-tarn camo on
