Panther Gs Detail upgrades

This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

Smart work there Mr Soeren. Brass always looks better than plastic during a build.
Being able to get hold of the steel wheels for use without engineering intervention is handy too mate !
Going to be a blinder of a Panther once he's done :thumbup:

Wooow DAT ziet er goed uit! :-)
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Thank you guys. It is definitely nice to have the steelwheels as an option. Here it is as of now. One side fender on. Have to use putty to fill in some gaps.
The back end will be a bit more laborsome as it is glued to the hull. Image

Thank you Carl. I was only about to add Zimmerit to this tank, when I originally planned this build. Got carried away a bit though. ;)

I am not sure yet about some back deck aa armour yet. By the way , he is doing a Panther M10 conversion kit as well. Sooo tempting.

OHHhhhhhh hell yeah !!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
Buy that for sure over making it................$20 bucks (I know, its Euros and thats 72c for my $ at the moment)well spent if I also calculate all the mucking around it took to get mine right.
Mine was made from brass, and that was not easy to shape & make to be a good fit.

If you have roof armour ,you NEEEEEeeeed to have deck armour !!
If not your need, then ours ok ;)
Its not all about you ya know Mr S :haha:

Lov'n the Panther project so far
