Well now you guys are so far into left field I can barely tell what this thread was about...

ha ha that was probably my fault, back to panther talk only :)

Worked on new stug today… looks better than factory blue/grey imho

Here’s some of my work

Wow…. Amazing work!

OK, looks like it finally caught up. Sorry for the many duplicate posts. I don’t see a way to delete them

[Goose246]

OK, it looks like it’s working.

Well, I don’t know why I’m having trouble with photos. I go to upload attachments from my photo gallery and it thinks it’s a URL.

Those are fantastic. I keep to the more modern tanks and have no WWII German ones other than a stock King Tiger but a friend does and spends a lot of time doing what you are doing.

Testing on the uploading......

I don’t know what’s wrong with the hobby squawk website, I’m trying to upload photos and it thinks they are a URL so it’s not working

Great painting goose!

Very much appreciated! Those were relatively easy though. My jagdpanther was my coup de grace! Next up is a stug iii

I’ve got 4 HL tanks with 7.0 and they don’t have a bad squeaky turret noise. I have a king tiger pro with the all metal road wheels . Works very well. I found the metal hubs caps on the road wheels would pop off so I tacked them on with a small dab of rubber cement .

I also have a panther professional edition (with plastic road wheels though) . The only issue I had with it was one of the idlers sat at a significant angle causing the track to bind on it. After shimming it to have it sit parallel to the rest of the wheels it’s been great

I like your wheels. I painted mine all green but the color came out a bit brighter than I anticipated. I may remove the wheels and repaint them. What’s really awesome about the metal road wheels is that the tires come off really easily but also stay on during operation. Thank you.

Hello commanders. I fell in love with the panther G. I ordered a full custom version with all the metal road wheels/idlers/sprockets/tracks etc. 360 turret/turret recoil. I have a few questions

is going all metal going to be an issue? I’m new and only own the merkava upgrade edition which i also love.

also, did ww2 tanks particularly the panther G have that motorized turret sound or did they make that squeaky sound? I saw a video of a heng long ww2 tank that made the squeaky sound while the turret was traversing. Does the 7.0 board have that sound?

That is a " C Hook " used to connect cables for towing or lifting.

Perfect! Thanks for the info
