I placed the motors and made the drivers hatch functional with a servo.






Best regards Yves

Thank you Mark

Hello,

Made some progress over the last weeks.

Made hooks for the tracklinks on the turret.



Made a servo setup for the MG gun in the front hull.



I put the Mike Stannard toolracks en tracklink racks on the hull.




Started on the electronic module setup.

Hi Yves,

Looking good, well done!
The Ausf A is my favourite Panther Ausf but when I bought my own kit from Armortek there was only the Ausf G available.

Please note that Mikes tool racks are for the Ausf G as they differs from the Ausf A at some points.
Not that hard alter them, just great fun setting your own touch to the pride and joy.
All it takes is spending some more de stressing hours

Kind regards
Kent

Thanks Kent,

A question, i already ask the question on the forum, but maybe you
know where i can find some info about the panther A side skirts?

Best regards Yves

Hi again Yves,

To be honest I was surprised to hear there was no side skirts in the Ausf A kit.
We had them in the Ausf G kit and as they begun using them in April 1943 just before Kursk on early Ausf D, all Panthers after that date had them until the end of the war.
They differ in size as they was made bigger on Ausf G then D+A.

My best advice is get the Panzer Tracts 5-2, all info about them is there.

Kind regards
Kent

Thanks for the info Kent.
Best regards Yves

Lovely looking Panther Yves, can't wait to see it finished! Regards Phil.

Thanks Phil,

I still dont know what kind of camo i am gonne put on the panther,
for one thing i am sure, i painted the barrel already in panzer grey ( new barrel from the factory) old one is worn out from the
shooting.

Best regards Yves
