The main problem most people have with the HL Jagdpanther is very soft suspension. If you push the front of the tank down and it doesn't spring back by itself the suspension needs adjusting.
Drill a new locating hole for the suspension spring at the 9 o'clock position on the first and last road wheels that should cure it.

Cheers
John

PS: Personally I wouldn't bother with metal road wheels, metal gear boxes are a better option.

i fully agree

change the location of the springs to the 9 o clock possision and that solved my problem ..and yep with the gearbox ...

the only addition was the brass engine deck screens .. and then some time and plastic card ..

i would like to see one or two other parts like a conversion to an early jp so i can go mad and zimmerit

but takeing it by enlarge ! its a fine repo of the jp

I have just fitted stronger springs to the 1st 2 and last 2 axles, and left the rest as they were. made one hell of a difference. it now sits more correctly and rides uneven ground far better. Along with these upgrades I also fitted adjustable rear idlers from Welsh Dragon' and the bracing bar which goes between them, metal tracks and idlers. really has made a big improvement, much heavier so rides better.

PS suggest not buy upgrades from Tankzone, nothing but problems with the bits I bought from them, some still not resolved. Buyer beware.
