Based on the Tiger and King Tiger ; is this the correct location???

Yes the LHS location is correct for a standard Panther. BefelsPanthers had a second antenna at the centre rear in an insulated armored base

THx Panzermechaniker (cool moniker).

I'll move it.

It's getting rid of the metal post that's problemmatic.

Grab the stub with a good set of pliers, push against the plastic and pull .

Or, open the hull and heat the area with a flame and then pull it out.
Fill the hole with putty and paint match it

As Mr. Bix says open the hull and hold it upside down but if you aren't sure about using a flame just heat the inside metal end of the antenna stub with a soldering iron and use vise grips attached on the outer side of the hull stub and the weight of them will just make it fall out once it reaches a certain temp. I was scared at first it might melt the plastic but no issues at all

Stubborn little sucker.

I pulled it; it started lifting the whole panel.
So I gave up.

I have a dremel tool. Hopefully it will yield.

Is there any other low hanging fruit I can work on?

As always I appreciate your expertise and advise.

You could make some spare track holders for the rear links that are all joined together and held on my gravity/ slots in the hull.
C shaped brackets that have pins & chains holding the red links in place should be there instead,

And make some track drops for the turret flanks .
Looks great and easy to do using paper clips bent into shape. If you have spare track available of course.

Make schurzen!! Simple rectangular plates and basic L shaped mounts glued under the hull side fender runs.
That will keep you off the streets for a while !!

Oh, and lids for the rear stowage bins. Again an easy fix with some suitable shaped material and some rough enough hinges & clasps.

If you purchase this I guarantee you will be kept occupied for weeks on end and end up with a stunning model. Either that or you will want to murder me
