Greetings Madman...Nice touch up ......I just finished my Panther... found it to be a really fine tank... How do you like yours so far? ...

Good Morning,
The HL paint on your Panther is very nice! Subdued and almost weathered looking new out of the box. The details are looking very good as well. Thanks for sharing the pics.

I second that, I still remember my first HL Panther and it is nowhere near yours. I think they have gotten better with their paint jobs, with a not so bright green shade and more earth tone overall.

The HL Panthers good, I paid £79.99 from ebay. It runs ok, but i will be changing the gears for Steel as I have fitted the Metal Drive sprocket and the rear idler.

I will slowly make a few updates.

I'd say you got a great deal ....I really am a fan of the Heng Long Panthers now... after working on mine... and finding how nice she was to work on... what can I say...They are Beauties to play and work on

Mine came with the white metal gearboxes... which run surprisingly smooth and strong...what surprised me most ..was how much I would like this model

Good to meet you Magman

Thinking about those metal wheels for mine... adds weight ...but doesn't hurt the suspension much.... thing is I'm kind of tired painting bogies ........for now

Nice Job


ALPHA

Ah... so you won't have one even as an added detail...She's really there..like how you managed to match and blend the colors so far

Just got myself an IR panther g - it's not bad but having been spoilt by tamiya previously means I am biased.

Good entry level tank however. Going to give it a decent paint job once it seen tidied up.
