Thought we might share this info for anybody who wants to convert there Heng Long Pantiger into a Jagdpanther, these are the dimensions we used when we made this one from 6mm ply (me & fynsdad) as the chassis is all wrong for a panther we mainly went with what looks good works for us, and it did'nt turn out to bad in the end :o

Now that does look very good.

I have an old HL Tiger in the loft thats been in bits for years which I intended to turn into a Jagdpanther. Seeing yours has made me want to get on with mine once i've finished my current project. Those measurements will make it a lot easier to get going. Thanks.
