Panther A
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2017 8:51 pm
Hi all , i did this one a while ago but although put in a lot of work i didnt get the hull sideslope correct or the tool racks exactly correct for the A. so having some time at xmas and after where i had to take it easy , i decided to redo it right as far as i can see. so heres pics starting from as at end of first build and then the remodel.. i used a heng long panther g hull and deck with a pantiger turret. the deck recieved some major surgery to fit pantiger turret and redo correct deck lines and shaving the high engine fan and replacing with lower level fan. the rear panel had 3 and 1 exhaust stacks fitted from that scrap pantiger . Front glacis had headlamp re positioned and drivers view plate made. extra engine cover plate lifting hooks fitted and originals re positioned. side plates fitted . new tool racks made and fitted partial zimmeritt fitted some stowage fitted of course the deckside slope was filled with bondo to give right angle. aerial re positioned. mesh fitted to engine covers etc. Deck also had to have the G hatches shaved and new ones made and fitted at correct position for an A. The turret had the awful pantiger barrel removed and a better longer one fitted. i might redo some of the weathering as not entirely happy with that.The black and white pics are as it was first time around. Then as it is now so far.
