Hello,
i like this little tank,and here we see a very good building-report
Hello Carl, maybe you do not know my parts for the Panda yet, I would like to show them to you. Maybe you can start something with it.
You would probably drive offroad, it can never be stable enough.
So you can make a setup of the track-tension individually, each side can be set separately.
Regards,Guido

I have used your kits on my Tamiya King Tigers but did not know this was available for my "little tank"
Regards

Greetings all

work has been incredibly busy and I've not had much time to do much on the work shop this week....
My plan is to work on wiring up the Nashorn project and installing the electronics from Stian. So this week when I had time I finished drilling out the balance of the plastic track links. My hands are a bit sore and tired but that task is now in the rear view mirror at this point.
Ive worked on cutting some 1mm steel rod to make track link pins for the tank. Very tedious process but they move and flex quite nicely.
They are quite strong IMHO and if they work I'll be very happy
Mr Guido Henn on the forum ( Mr Henntec himself) custom built me a wonderful track tensioner system that is on its way from Germany ( in the states already)

I must add he is a really good person and very helpful!
So nothing too exciting yet but much going on behind the scenes

This is looking great so far, Carl. Refresh my memory (mainly because I'm too lazy to re-read the whole thread) but the Hetzer is built on the same chassis? I think you know I just got a 1/6 Hetzer kit, I'm wondering if the Dragon 1/6 Panzer II could be used to create a second hull top for that chassis. Whaddaya think? Is the PzII close enough to the 38?

Hi Blimp

no I am making these myself. The kit is being made in small groups so I'm still waiting on mine. I am just cutting 1mm steel rod
