Hi Mark, Gill

I was working on my wheels off my Jagdpanther and was thinking do you know when you are offering the upgrade pack for the twin torsion bars for the excisting Panthers and Jagdpanthers.

Regards William

Hi William

The parts will be manufactured with the Panther Universal Hulls this Autumn. Mark will try to make the necessary parts early in the run so that they are available as soon as possible. We will post again as soon as we have more information.

Hi Gill & Mark,

Any chance of posting some photo's of the new suspension here as I don't do Facebook or Twitter

Maybe after a week or two of being on them they can be posted on the forum for all to see

Thanks Antony

Hello everyone,

This is the new double torsion bar system fitted to the prototype universal hull for the new Panther production. This hull is constructed from original Panther production parts, proving that the new system can be retro fitted to your existing Panther and Jagdpanther models. Suspension arm angle is completely adustable both during build and after completion of the whole model. Torsion bars are supplied with the flat already ground on one end and wedge clamped solid at the rocker end.

Hi Mark,
It looks great! and surly works great too.
Just wondering if the similar suspension will be provided for the King Tiger later on?

Thanks

Hi Chang

The Panther and its variants were the only big German tanks fitted with double torsion bars. The Tiger 1, King Tiger and Panzer 111, all had only single torsion bar suspension systems.
