So now you know that under the 'blanket' was just the beginning of what we are offering. For the first time you now have the 'choice' of three models. Both the Jagdpanther and the Panther will incorporate many improvements as seen in recent releases and the new addition of double torsion bar suspension.

The Bergepanther of course offers a brand new kit for the customer who already has everything else!

BRILLIANT Mark and Gill!
Now you can produce the Universal Tiger II
chassis for the Jadgtiger and other variants.

Mark, Gill,

as some one else mentioned, I was hoping it would be something ugly which i wouldn't want. So, what do you do? Make THREE Tanks I have to have!

Nice work!

Brian

While I am not certain I will be getting one of the U-Panthers. But, I very much like the sales format and concept of a "Universal" type kit!

Maybe it can usher in some other U-Kits in the future.....

> new addition of double torsion bar suspension.

I've always thought the Panther kits had the smoothest suspension in the Armortek range, so add this innovation and the new ones are going to be giving Bentley a run for their money

Hi,

What is double torsion bar suspension?

Sarah

Adrian Harris · Post by **Adrian Harris** » Thu Jun 17, 2010 7:56 pm

From what I understand, the axle passes through the side to a torsion bar as per usual, but instead of the torsion bar being anchored at the other side, it passes some of the rotational forces to a second bar via a pair of gears, which passes back across the hull to the original side of the tank.

Effectively, you get twice the length of torsion bar over which to absorb the forces.
