Hi Sarah,

I have built the double torsion bar suspension into my Panther A .
I have tried to explain this system here:
http://www.armortek.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1965
The tank is in the third gear about 8 km/h fast and runs very smooth and soft.
I think it is a good choice from Armortek to put this systm into the Panther.

Regards Bodo

Hi Mark and Gill
What a fantastic choice just love the beregpanther.
I stayed home until 5pm to see the unveiling then off to work (late) back home with a nice bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine for my dear lady wife.
First thing she says is OK what are you after, nothing says I nothing says she nothing says I (unable to look her in the eye).
You must think I`m daft says she not me says I OK says she if you wont one that bad sell one of your bikes.
After much contemplation and sole searching about two seconds I have decided to stick with the flowers and wine and hope it mite work.
Here's hoping :lol: :lol:
See you in September.
Kind regards to you both
Steve
aka Muttley.

There's a video on you tube which explains the Panther double torsion bar suspension perfectly.



Cheers

Hmm, no gears then - but I can't visualise how the bar which holds the two torsion bars moves as the rotation of the first bar occurs - does it lift up at one end or the other ?

I've just watched the new release . when the cover first came off , I thought what's that at the rear deck ? It looked like a marder for a second then the Panther top went on and it all made sense .. Good Idea Mark and Gill I wonder how many will order all three tops ? It will be interesting to see you goes for what options? Mark the only thing I would change is the late chine mantel to an early one as I think most of the Panther modellers cut these off any way .... Well done they will sell very well ..Dale

as some one else mentioned, I was hoping it would be something ugly which i wouldn't want. So, what do you do? Make THREE Tanks I have to have! :D :D :D :P :P :P

Nice work!

Mark and Gill,
Youv'e done it again, I want one.It's like an addiction this tank thing.
Anyway I'm just trying to sell my wife's car while she is out at work, and then deny all knowledge.
Well done on a super model.

Hi Gill and Mark,

The new combinations look great, tempted with a Panther but I'll wait until the Panzer II comes out next :wink:


Best wishes

Sarah

Congratulations Mark and Gill,

Excellent choice complete with great new innovations. :)

The flash introduction is extremely well done and really gets one's heart beating :D

As with the Comet, the realistic and intricate suspension will be a joy to build.
