It's a a tank!
A bouncing baby boy 14 lbs ( 1 stone ) (6.4 kilo ).
I'm so proud.
I owed this forum an official unboxing.
I was unaware that unboxing literally meant unboxing.
I hope this is a true replica.
Comments appreciated.

I realize you have started it already but the Panther is definitely one where purchasing the Aber detail kit is money well spent. The lack of detail on the HL I can understand but the Tamiya was pathetic considering the amount they used to charge for it. Whereas the Taigen's detailing is excellent

Did Heng Long ever fix the angle of the lower glacis?

Good Afternoon!
The Tank overall is a thing of Beauty! My only (probably unwanted) advice is to knock down the steps that HL puts on it's Panther and Jadgpanther road wheels. The real wheels had a smooth curve from hub to rim. I think Taigen road wheels fixed this issue. Following along!
