Like the E 100 very much. Any build log?

At the bottom of the last Picture was a Link to one.

Awesome tank with amazing turret!

My 1946 Panther F Gatling. This is a Heng Long Panther G with a 3DP Panther F Gatling Gun sold by AUSTRIAN_3D_ART on Cults3D. I contracted with JVMConcepts to have it printed. The STL file presents multiple scale options and includes the FG 1250 Night Vision scope.





Those whitish areas are an artefact, a reflection from a nearby window.

I just saw it posted on JVM3Dconcepts Instagram page. Wow it turned out looking pretty dang good. What a fun unique project you did. I can wait to see it in person.

Now when are you posting the video of it in action!

Celebrating the new acquisition



So far the KT is a good match for the T-34. This is just the test run before adding all the accessories, painting the tracks, etc.

I love how sluggish the tank is on low speed, it definitely drives like a heavy tank.

Nice, I resemble that picture.

FMS / Rochobby 1/12 RC Willys MB along with the 1/12 RC Kubelwagen.

My next paint testjob on a new PzIV.
All done by the use of a sponge instead of a brush, except the wheels.

Not For nothin' but I've seen "Period Pictures" of tank crews applying cammo with Brushes and rags, so your finish here looks very period correct, Field applied. Well done sir.

[Chris curran]

A lot of the points given can be built, or added without doing too much damage your fine paint job, so they would just need to be touched in with a paint brush.

Thanks man. I've already started. Antenna is moved, the commanders turret is in correct position, AA MG is re attached, but removable like the real one. Found a fire extinguisher and various other spare parts I can get. Once I get the Decals and apply them, I'll take more pictures.

[Chris curran]

As I may have mentioned it before; MM Canada had a sale going on.
So I kept ordering including spare parts.

When I came home last time, that is what was waiting for me to be unpacked and organized. :D




CCC

Now, THAT, is a haul. WOW.

[Meter Rat]

Most of these points I can do nothing about. The antenna is where the receiver is, Can't do much about the Turret, They installed the Turret hatch assy backwards, I can open the Drivers hatch, It's where the On off switch is. A far improvement from the early model from years back. The Flag is removable, and hardly displayed. However, Where can I find some
after market pieces to add to this?

I just pulled the metal antenna plug out from the bottom of the top hull with vise grips.

Oh, ok, If it serves no purpose, I'll give it a go and re position it.

[MrChef]

Thanks Chef. I did that with the commanders hatch, it just popped off and I spun it to the correct way. I also removed the MG and the Flag. I guess the MG was for the later hatch design, unless an individual wanted to add it in Theatre. The paint I re did. I still used the base Green, but added more of the dark tan/khaki colour and airbrushed that on. I figure the more weathering I do the better it will look. Plus, most Camo schemes were field added and what ever pattern the crew wanted, or what paint they could get their hands on. As far as the antenna goes, I thought it was part of the receiver. Turns out it's not attached to anything, It's just plugged in there, If there's a way to remove it without doing too much damage, please let me know. As for the Fire extinguisher, I don't see it. I may need to find one and add it. I'm really appreciating the input here. All said and done, It already looks 100% better than it did out of the box.

And the list Meter Rat posted isn't even Everything. I try to concentrate on the eye sores, obvious stuff and things I want to change that will make me happy.

All of the points that Meter Rat listed you can fix or modify it just depends on your ability and motivation as well as you accept that you will need to repaint and refinish your tank. Some stuff can be done without repainting. Its up to you to decide what you do and don't want to do.

The commanders copula pops off pretty easily enough then just turn it the way it should be and reglue it.

Here's my most recent Heng Long Tiger I next to my Taigen Tiger before taking it apart to work on and change/fix issues-



Here is the same Tiger I after taking it apart to fix and rebuild

It's a slippery slope with the Tiger I then all of a sudden you've gone down the rabbit hole head first.
