You use that method as well eh Abo? If you're going to sneak 1 great big box into the house you might as well sneak in 2. It worked with my HL Tigers until she spotted them together one evening... Oops!

Crispy, its the only way to go mate,The jagd came today so the box is hidden in the shed awaiting the next visit to the tip!
Thing is the jagds bloody huge and bright! sits on the table with the other tanks but stands out like a bulldogs dangly bits! Massively impressed with the mouldings etc and everything works ready to be taken apart ( lets buy something new so we can tear it apart and re build it, go figure!).
Dunno if its because its a BB version but it still has that bloody awfull "recoil" where the whole tank jumps as though you've shouted BOO! at it, got to get that sorted.
Just waiting for the Panther from Forgebear when I can open it in front of the mrs and oooh and ahhhh at it in peace. That'll be tank number eleven with space running out fast, think I may have to sell my yank tanks and concentrate on panzers!
Abo.

My Panther from Forgebear arrived today...tri coloured, its a good looking tank..took it straight out to the garage so not much time to try it out yet, if I can sneak that past the wife I will have no problems for the upgrade parts I have already planned to buy!

I got mine as well Nic, what extras have you got? I'd like to get metal tracks and sprockets but don't know if the HL Jagdpanther's are the same?.
Can't decide on zimmerite either, nice tank though!
It's got the rx18 I call the Russian tractor so might swap that out.

Hi jrc, no extras yet..track idlers and sprockets are a definate(they are the same as the jagdpanther)...also stronger springs as I notice that the front end dips down to much...I also got the ir version...dodgy recoil and a sound thats supposed to be a tank engine. Zimmerite will be the way forward for me I think... I still got to finish my tiger thats sitting in the garage too..
