Some of my favourite old photos which I want to reproduce in our 1/6th scale sometime.

I must have some dedication to keep this post alive

Flakpanther training day, no smoking!

Some nice old photos?

I think i'm going to have Flak wall paper in my bedroom

I think I'm going to change the name of this thread to "lovely old photos"

Some more from our archive which may be of interest

Hi Phil,

Very realistic I actual know people who would buy some of those photos thinking they were original WWII. Just add the jagged border affect and I will point them in your direction.

I was recently offered a German photo album (Meine Dienstzeit) It was a tiger crew album which exited me, I looked through it and though I had seen some of the photos before. so when I got home I searched and found this photo which was in the album.
What made me suspicious of the album away was: if you create an album of your service time, you would appear in the photos more than a few times, these were just random photos. I heard the guy sold the album for £150.

I don't think anyone would buy mine, there's only about 10 photos and most are of chieftains stuck in a ditch or crashed into the garage door.

Paul.

Hi Paul you are to kind me ol mate, nice old photo of the crew at rest stuffing their faces and reading the mail, just my kind of photo.
I would like to see your Chieftain pics very much, you can post them on R or F with pleasure!
I have just got back from the Devon Country show and the Wessex Yeomanry ( my old lot) had a Chally 2 on the stand, the guys started the old girl for me and up gave it the beans with smoke on, I do miss all that. I just love that ground shaking turbo diesel (I did shoot some video) .
Now in the early days of replacement MBT crew, I can remember driving across Salisbury Plain with the RWY using Land rovers as a substitute for the Chally repeating "Tank tank tank" as we drove tactically in the pitch dark :lol
regards Phil.

Paul.

Then definitely real !!! I would be highly suspect of a photo album where most of them didn´t depict that.

Some of my other Panther "A" pics?

Some great photos some genuine and some not so ?

How about this for a new release by Armortek, boy does it look the business!
I wonder if there would be enough interest to make it commercially viable?
I believe its a Grizzly chassis as its of the cast hull type, what a capable looking ARV.

Hi Phil,

Great looking photos of you Panther, I don't think the tiger turret is yours though

Here are some for you,
Paul.

Nice collection Paul, that first double barrelled Panther, is that real, I would like to know more about that one!
Photo no 2 is a very contemporary looking example.
Photo 3 I think maybe a top secret anti aircraft variant
The last one I have never seen before.....nice, Thanks for the input Paul, feel free to post more great photos anytime regards Phil.
