well after looking for a ready made tank I got my first off Tom Hugill and it was great to go with my sherman.

Good Afternoon,
Great collection you have there! Both the PanTiger and the Sherman will give you many hours of modeling fun. Tom has already done that Tiger 1 to a fare thee well but nothing's saying that you may not find things you'd like to do to it in the future. The key thing is to have fun with all of them! We'll be looking for some outdoors shots here soon. ;o)
regards,
Painless Wolf

To be honest Tom has done wonders with that tiger but the other 2 are fair game as well as the couple coming on Monday, they are about 4 year old but lets see what I can project them into :D Bah this Tank Bug Has me !!

If you have a look at. panzernut his Panther G post and you will see what I mean, compare the hull of his against yours, the front, rear and the turret sitting wrong.
But as PainlessWolf say's the name of the game is fun.
PainlessWolf his Late War Panther G has some very good shots to compare.
Yes it is an additive hobby.
Piccy's of my Panther G are posted somewhere on this section, I think about Sept or Oct 2011.

Good Morning, Horses,
That is a really sweet collection! You have given yourself a lot of fun modeling to do. Take your time and stretch past what you think you can already accomplish and you will wind up with tanks you can run and enjoy for a lifetime.
regards,
Painless
