Yes the pantiger arrived today,first impression wasn't bad but not good either.. The Camo on it looks like it shouldn't be there it has metal tracks but both the drive wheel and idler wheel are made of plastic and on one side the track wants to come of the idler wheel, tried to reinstall the idler wheel but still wants to come off so i have already ordered both wheels in metal hope that will fix the problem. The Machine gun is loose and flops about but does actually lights up when firing.
The good thing about it is the airsoft cannon WOW what power it has, about 3 times more then the tiger and Bulldog the BB Pellet actually goes through the cardboard target that comes with the tank. Smoke unit works great.
.
So looks like i'm in for more camo work for a start, then maybe work on the hatches as they really look shocking. Ahh well sh*t happens...

Cheers Diesel..

Yep I bought the same but with the wisdom on here I thought I would change the top and back for a tiger top the at least I have a full tiger so I have one stripped compleat lye down an old one with no sound or smoke and the newer one just waiting of finding a cheap full tiger top then the fun starts to get it done up

Was it supposed to be the deluxe model? it's supposed to come with metal sprockets and idlers gearboxes as well

Hey Horses45.... when you do get around to do the conversion. it might also be in your best interest to get the tail plate as well

it's usually included with the lower hull... but can be had relatively inexpensively

Already looked at ,but thanks for the pointer . How hard is it to fit a turret ring and turret to the top hull? And sorry diesel for jumping on your post .

Horse 45, Hi, If you go to the site "THINGS TO FIX ON YOUR NEW TANK" select the first entry, Tiger 1, and then scroll down to the third entry from the bottom you will see a photographic record of how to both remove and fit a Tiger 1 turret, the whole site is full of helpful advice on matters Tank. good luck. shaun

I'm pretty sure it's the same ..fit wise... motors everything should transfer over easily ... the only hitch you might come up against is the led headlight .. but it's an easy cut resolder thing

Alpha its the pro version http://www.rchighperformancehobbies.com ... -3819-1pro doesn't mention metal sprockets and idlers.

No worries my friend ..

found the problem to the one track wanting to come off. they installed the Tiger 1 Idler wheel, i know its the Tiger 1 because i tried out my plastic one idler wheel on it,which i kept them from when i switched to metal tracks on my Tiger 1 so its a bigger size then what its supposed to be and it touches the road wheels..

Cheers Diesel

Yup... with a little imagination....the TIPANTHER could be turned into a troop carrier...there are many photos out there of WW2 turretless conversions
