Finaly I continue with my PANTHER. I finished the turret without some details. I have to rebuilt the hinge of a rear door. I made a new cover of engine compartment with new hinges of engine cover,grills and hooks.

Hi Michal,

Fantastic build and what a good eye for detail, I am watching with great interest.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for nice coment. The rear plate is complete ready now. I have to solve to fill the distance betwen an old plate under turet and a new rear plate. I am showing some photos of details of a complete rear part.

Hi Michal,

Nice work, well done!
Love your attention to details, my kind of modelling...

Just one tiny observation.
The 4 air intake grills had the slopes only on the outer sinde as seen here in the photo below.

Keep up the good work
Kind regards
Kent

Hi everybody,
I would like to wish you all the best during whole New year 2018, lot of health and peace and lot of success and fun with your models.

I continue on the rear plate. I finished the exhausted pipes with silencers and rear tools boxes. I am preparing the new version of 20 tons jack for PANTHER G and KT.

I finnaly finished the rear plate without some small details. 20tons short jack is ready with all brackets.

Some nice work Michal, that's my favorite area of an AFV keep it coming. What did you use for the rivet/screw/bolt detail on the jack body? Regards Phil.

Hi Michal,

I enjoy your build and there is someting about a red oxide Panther thats for a fact

One tiny, tiny observation on the jack....
The bottom plate shape on 20t short was square lowered not square ribbed.
Can be seen here at the Panzer Basics site:

And then it is that far to big crown....but no one has yet got it right...

Keep up the good work Panther friend!

Kind regards
Kent

Hello guys,

thank you for the comment about my jack. I will try to rebuild it. I like real details and this part I dind´t note.

I used a special aluminium glue for the casting of heads of rivets and screw. I cast it to the silicon mold.


Have a nice day

Michal

I started to work on the front plate. I rebuild the hinges of the drivers doors and the system of the fixxing the front plate because there is a different system as the A model. I finished the doors. I used some parts from ARMOPAX and others parts I made myself.

Hello everybody
I made new inside frames on the front drivers doors with the rubber gasket. Finally I finished the barrel holder from the bras plate. I made the chain from stainless steel. I am starting to work on the new periscops.

I am sending few photos of my new driver´s periscope. Everything is made from brass plate. I am finishing the next one too.

very nice michal and a lot of work, a great build, regards simon manning.

Amazing parts! Beautiful work! Hopefully you didn't cut the links of chain on the travel lock by hand! Very nice detail parts.
