Hello Phil....ok, it's the......wait for it.....

Panther Universal Hull.....Jagdpanther Variant.

You may be aware I recently built the 1/16 Tamiya Full Option Jagdpanther.....just to keep my hand in.
Meanwhile saving my pennies.

Just could not resist going for the big one, what the hell, why not, my children (grown up) and grandchildren (growing up fast) will soon spend it.

This will be a long term build, one I can enjoy at my leisure. Don't you just love these tanks :D ......Mick

You will need another trailer. I checked out the trailers like yours. Found one at less than Half price just a couple of months old then found neither of my stupid cars can be fitted with tow bars. I have taken measurements and am sure the Tiger will fit into the mini. (just about) Need to get ramps though.

Thanks Nick,
Yes it will look great loaded up :) there is plenty of room in the T34-85 Turret.
I dont know how much room there is in the Panzer 1V,but I think its nice to
have the crew standing on what they might have stood on.
Cheers

Hi Nick,
Yes I am as proud of these rounds as you are,you even hollowed out the spare
cases,brilliant. :D
I have a nice job to look forward to now and finish them off and they will look great in the racks. :)
Glad I left my Turret roof easily removable.
Ok I will stick to Tiger hunting :)
Cheers

Those rounds look excellent. Didn't know Nick was holding out on us having a CNC lathe? If they aren't CNC machined they sure look good to me! Brilliant workmanship!
Phil those will look great in the ready racks.
Best regards,
Bob
