Gatling Panther

[SoCalBobS]

My Panther was on its shelf gathering dust, when I came across a printable file for a wild variant. Austrian-3D-Art on Cults3D published the file, which I purchased and commissioned to have printed. I use my tanks for IR battling, which is why you see an IR emitter and receiver on the turret.

I frequent the Hobby Squawk tank forum. Here's the text for this tank:

"So, what's that marking on the turret? Well, after a stinging defeat in the winter of 1944 and a successful assassination and coup, the German Army capitulated on the Western Front.
