Hi Guys

I have finally got my hands on a Panther, needs a repaint and possibly a zim, and its guts ripping out, I am well happy with it, runs a dream 8)

I was thinking of a Panther Ausf A? :? but not 100% yet.

Hi Richie,
A nice-looking Panther here! Are you planning to upgrade the motion & sound packs? I bet you are. Ever thinking of replacing the wheels to kingtiger's steel one?
Have a great fun! Regards, Lerh Chang :D

Richie,

Can't wait to see what you come up with in the electrics department.

Personally I would love to see a definitive, standalone, turret "son et lumiere" FX package 8) . Xenon gunflash, recoil servo and a big speaker (in the turret), amp and KA-BOOM sound chip. All syncronized to a single trigger switch. Totally independent of the rest of the model electrics/electronics, and a serious alternative to the blank-firer for those that don't want to go that route.

Re-engineering the kit to an Ausf A would be very impressive, but a lot of work due the the different angles and thickness of the hull plates! Easier to go back to Solidworks and design new hull plates than to modify the kit hull, methinks.

Good luck, anyway.

Fabrice

Hi Paul.
Yes I wondered that mate? why would you stop posting you have been on this forum as one of the original's and your views are highly regarded I would say...just look at your Halftrack build.
Stick with it mate, and take on some of the things you have told me these last few months.
I will give you a bell tonight.
Cheers Paul :wink:
