Out Of The Box Panther (pantiger)

Post by FireflyKeith »

For those of you who may not know the Heng Long Panther is completely wrong, for starters they have used the Tiger I chassis for this model which basically puts everything out of proportion, hence the name "Pantiger" ::)  most people who own this tank use it for target practice ;D but i have seen some nice paint jobs and a couple of Jagdpanther conversions, my suggestion is use it to practice on ;)

lol, nail on the head there keith! :D

1. Take your pantiger out of the box

2. inspect its crumminess

3. put it back in the box

4. A) send it back to where you bought it

or B) use it as target practice

there is my advise :D :D :D

cheers,

Matt

Secret option C:
Give it to your friends kids so that they can learn how to drive a tank without smashing up your prized models in the process. Give it a year or 2 and you'll now have others to play 'Tank Laser Tag' with...

strip all the delicate bits off, then give it to your toddler, so he keeps his hands off your proper tanks.
(then take it away and do a conversion on it.......I'm such a cruel parent!)

Or alter it although Pantiger conversions are never perfect compared to the Panther G by HL .

Here is my one the idea came from Gra I compleatly chopped it up and added a back date Panther G turret.

Yep thats true . This one runs on the newer correct width Panther G tracks and Tamiya Panther G road wheels I altered the Pantiger in every way possible .
