I got a new tank today a 1/6 Jagdpanther its too big for the house so im sleeping in the shed with it as I have been thrown out with the wife. Doesn't matter I have a great sleeping bag.

hmmm sleep outside and own one or not... yep I'm outside. nice jag

It's still summer. Wait till winter comes. Remember what happened on the eastern front. Who makes that model. Is it a mark 1 like Ice Monkeys?

looks really nice mate!

Excellent, Now lets see under the hood! What features are installed? Really have never gotten a chance to see one in any detail.

Its a field of armour with graupner electrics it has sound with gun elevation but no recoil yet I will have to do that as well as fit a smoker and exhausts.

Keep up posted and let us see how this is put together. I am interested in feedback on field of armour. I was thinking of getting a shurzen set for my panzer iv from them.

Hi tankmad,
Its a nice looking kit you have there.....but can I just ask,why the sandbags and the 'Afrika Korps' symbol on the front ??

Thats the way I bought it I know there was no Jagdpanthers in Africa and it was allied tank crews that put sand bags on their tanks when I am done with it there will be no sand bags or palm trees in sight.

Hi Stevie,
Phew ! I am glad that you are going to put that all 'Right'. I think that a length of track or a spare wheel has much more protection than a bloomin sand bag......It has always puzzled me why the allies did that.....I doubt that an 88mm shell would be slowed much by a canvas bag full of sand !
