I should stick with 1:10, again a load of very tinny small parts...



even comes with driver figures


again nice remote, soundmodul, the works

so more value for money than my Bruiser

Holy cow, that's a low price per part ratio.

I want one

Yup! guess about 50cents a piece (got it with 50% discount)

electronics were a little easier to fit than the T34, but again one motor wire was not soldered ok and snapped.



next is thousands of wheels part

a little progress, got it all together, much more work compared to the T34, the paintjob will be a bit more challenging too.

turret


body with turret


chassis


pre assembled


some leftovers


guess these are some spares for after the tank battle or hop-ups

The panther got a couple of layers of T3, next is detailing and camo.
Apparently they were factory finished one coloured for a time and the crews did the brown and green camo themselves (brushed or airbrush) later the camo was done in the factory.

So here is a factory finish Panther



Ready for a shoot out


When one tank shoots at the other the 'receiving' tank makes an incoming sound followed by a hit.

Will try to make a video of this

That video would be cool...
And there's a new one coming soon!

German Tank Destroyer Elefant Tamiya USA

yeah but thats just a static model, you would have to make your own sounds just like back in the days when we were still little, playing with our toy cars and planes outside in the garden, you know years back when summers were still warm and sunny....

Even that would be fun.
Aren't the static models the basis for the RC versions?
One could expect a full option Elefant then... although it doesn't have a turning turret.
I do like the bulkiness of it.

lots of room for the electronics, boy is there little space left inside of these things. it is pretty stuffed, one has to really follow and read the manual to the letter to get everything to fit just right. but then its a job well done and they actually work quit ok for such mini tanks. the tracks could be a bit better quality but maybe I will find some aftermarket ones that work for driving around.
