JagdPanther G2 Robert 2024

Post by Robert Tanzer »

What a wonderful day it is today, the sun is shining and beautiful weather I have.
What could be better? Yes, a shipment from Armortek. 4 boxes of my JagdPanther arrive today.
A Big thank you to everyone at Armortek, for their fine work on this model.
Tomorrow the fun starts, then I will spend more of my time in my mancave.

A very happy Robert.

Have washed and primed the chassis.
Started by making brass bushings for the suspension assembly.
I do love to work with brass, in my opinion brass is a wonderful material to work with.

Have a nice day to you all.

Fantastic work Robert ... you know I fancy with a kit ... is it mandatory to do this or just for your individual improvements ???

Maybe I am stupid about this .. my Leopard kit comes with ball bearings whereever you might think off ... great stuff !!!

Cheers, Andre

Hello Andre
This is not mandatory, I do it because I think it's an improvement.
And I enjoy working with brass.

Hello Andre,

I thought the brass bushings are made from the Armortek factory because my panther A have the brass bushings.
Best regards Yves
