Hi Kent

I think Mark changed the bump stops on the Jadgpanther kit as a result of possible interference with the tracks on the Panther. I know Bob modified his and I did the same.

So I would guess the ones in the photo of Willie's are the "new and improved" version of bump stops.

Good eye Tim and Kent,
The bump stops are different. The JP versions look much better! Good improvement.

Willie was that a typo or was it realy 137 degrees below ?
If it was i will stop moaning about our works being around 4 degrees below freezing the last few days .

Well it was a bit of an exaggeration,however the actual temp for that weekend was 5 degrees with a wind-chill factor of 40 below zero,which means two things. I ain't leaving the house and I'm working on the tank.

Looking real good Willie. That Jagpanther has some sexy lines. Wish I could get me one! Keep us posted on your progress.

Nice one Willie!

Seeing now a number of Jagdpanther models I start regret I passed on one for myself - maybe at a later release...

Echo Bob and admit they have sexy lines - German design at its best.

Talking about good looking have you seen this one at Youtube?
When it turned I almost yelled of excitement...
No calm museum ride here, no driven like the real thing

Turn the volume on!

I recently purchased this part-built jagdpanther. full options including batteries, i will dismantle it and try and give it some kent treatment!
I will post some photos as i go for anyones interest.
Build tips, early or late model and sugestions welcome.

Go for an Early one

With zimmerit on you have a very special version I donÂ´t think there are many of them in 1:6th.

"kent treatment"...I like that!

Cheers
Kent

Lucky dog to find one in good shape! Looks like a good build, I like the early version too. Bob

Hi Simon

Nice display of the "panther" part of your collection! I third the "early jagdpanther with zimmerit" request.
