I would be interested in the Panther muzzle break and have already forwarded a number of pictures, the easiest Panther gun i can think of for measurements is in Panzermuseum Munster, any of our German kameraden willing to take measurments.

Friends,
I understand that going to the museum takes time and desire.
I thought of a simple solution:
if you say that the Aber 1/16 muzzle brake is true to the original,
we do a money collection (sold on eBay for € 50/55), we buy it and I try to copy it. We always need 7 reservations so that the cost remains similar to that of Tiger1.

Thanks Jack,
but I don't want to buy Aber's muzzle brake (55 €) and then make 3 or maybe 4 pieces without the certainty that they are actually purchased. I remind you that for the Tiger, I did not ask for advances, I was ordered and, after making them, some were canceled and I still stopped them here. We have to buy Aber's muzzle brake by spending 10/15 € each, including me, then pay the advances of 50% of the cost, and then I make them.
I hope you understand what I wrote. Thank you!

Ivano,
I’m happy to make an advance...if that’s what you need. I’m also fairly certain others would too.

OK,
to start if you accept that the example model is Abert,
let's start with the purchase. I found it on Ebay for 55 € from Poland.
Anyone find it for less money? Attention, Abert is in 1/16 scale if he has errors, bringing it to 1/6 scale will be more evident. I can't know, so I can't guarantee 100% loyalty.
So who is available? At least 6/7 interested people are needed. For the price please contact me privately, however it will cost like the Tiger.
Contact your friends and confirm with a post. If you want to send the money to me or anyone who wants to buy it. I hope you understand what I wrote. Thank you!
