Hello Mark,

I already ask Monique for the panther cables.
Regards Yves

[Phil Woollard]

Little touches like the replacement barrel makes all the difference, adds much interest which some find hard to achieve,

Regards phil.

Hello,

Some more work on the panther,
Made 2 towingcables




Towinghook now finished



Made a little modefication for the track tension,
to keep the tension bolts in place.





Also started on the electronics



Regards Yves

Nice improvement for the track tensioning bolts!
I hate when they just fall into the hull and you have to disassemble to reach them.
Gotta try that!

[Robert E Morey]

I agree the track tension bracket idea is excellent. I like it better than a machined solution.

Excellent details all around - you've added a lot of extra parts! $$$$

Great build - good to see progress!

Thanks for the nice comments on my build,
next few days i am gonna airbrush the wheels and put them on the swingarms,
then my build is gonna stop for a while because i have to go to the hospital
for a tennis elbow operation
Hopefully i can start soon back on my build.

Regards Yves

Hi Yves,

That's what I like to see moving bits. Looking good.

Dennis.

[yves mouton]

Hello,

Thanks Dennis, its a lot of work to make the hatch work properly,
i test the hatch by hand moving the servo arm but is see that if i wanne open it the hatch tilts to the right,
so maybe i have to use a spring so that the hatch remains parallel with the back of the turret.

Best regards Yves

I had similar problems with opening and closing the rear doors on the 251.
