I feel the need for a Jagdpanther.

A word of warning: The Tamiya German Panzerkampwagen V Panther Ausf.A (#35065) has tracks that are too short, the drive wheels will be pulled out of the proper position.

That's this one:

T3hGuppy · Post by **T3hGuppy** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 8:21 am

That's the kit I have but bought some workable tracks for it so I should be okay.

Thanks for the headsup buddy

Ok... where the hell have I been that I've missed this...???
Hollywood just PMed me about it.
WOW!!!
Guys you are amazing, I can't believe the way this has taken off.
You guys are awesome!!!
A few minutes ago I was a little on the fence as to whether or not I could join due to timing.... but screw it. You're enthusiasm has sucked me in like a Hoover.
I'm in.
I have a really nice Panther Ausf. G berg that I will use. I've got all sorts of goodies for it too. I've been saving it for when I had time to build her.

I didn't ask you just because you said you didn't want to do to much GB's this year but you are more then welcome !!!!!

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 11:35 am

Yeah... Thanks Sabastian!!
At the moment I'm ok in the GB department.
I had some room in May/June.

I think that it's been realised Mark haha.
Both admins and a Moderator have signed up haha.

Nice kit Lee... I built that for a buddy of mine last year.
It goes together really well and is good on the accuracy. It's a tiny bit soft on some of the details, but you'll enjoy this one buddy.
It's a nice kit!!!

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 1:09 pm

I'll be building this one.

I have a resin interior that I plan on trying to cram into it as well. I think that I have a PE set as well.

Hopefully i have the time to enter this and if so this is my entry

MarkVerploeg · Post by **MarkVerploeg** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 1:56 pm

cool that this will happen
i have a night fighter from the muncheberg division in mind (yes i had to look that up)
and that panther Coen has looks like a nice base kit for the whole idea
don't think it is that widely available tough but i'll make it happen somehow

alextheblue · Post by **alextheblue** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 2:24 pm

You guys are a bad influence! I promised myself I'd only do the ISM GB's. But seeing all these great kits is making me want to join. I'm on the bones of my arse at the moment so I'll see if I can find a little 1/76 panther of some sort. I think revell will probably do one?

HotziSlayer · Post by **HotziSlayer** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 3:33 pm

revell got the old matchbox jagdpanther in their program. maybe thats what you need ? nice little kit i built myself about 3-4 times.

chief5437 · Post by **chief5437** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 3:35 pm

Excellent! Thanks for the info guys.

Nige201980 · Post by **Nige201980** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 3:57 pm

right thanks guys I'll see if i can pick up a kit nearer the time but its a definite maybe lol

chief5437 · Post by **chief5437** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 4:14 pm

Ha ha! I've just realised this isn't starting til April time. Doh ! Should be able to get a kit sorted by then. Looking forward to it!

HamilkarBarkas · Post by **HamilkarBarkas** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 5:08 pm

Yeah its quite some time till we start with it, time to prepare yourself with reference material and inspiration. However, my Jagdpanther kit is smiling at me all the time and whispers "build meeeeee".

Hollywood, if you build the Panther F, I guess we'll be the Schmalturm-team

TexasAndy · Post by **TexasAndy** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 9:55 pm

I would very much like to part of this! I have a couple of different Panther's from Dragon and I have the ICM Panther D Bergepanther so I've got some choices. What do I need to on my end to sign up?

Schoof · Post by **Schoof** » Thu Jan 09, 2014 10:28 pm

This is getting better every minute ! I defo took the wrong week to go on a sort vacation. ...... Can't do anything decent from here but then I never dreamt our little SiG would take off like this.

I hope I can pull off the Ambush camo again

Before anyone tells me whether they did or didn't mount the scope on a Jagdpanther, I'll tell you I don't care. It should look interesting and that's all that counts.

Jan01 · Post by **Jan01** » Fri Jan 10, 2014 8:25 am

Anyone know of a decent panther A kit. Again I have some figures of a certain Division that will go with the panther.

Panzerwolf · Post by **Panzerwolf** » Fri Jan 10, 2014 12:31 pm

Then you should also mention which Panther kits are best to avoid, for example Tamiyas old Panther Ausf. A.

Panzerwolf · Post by **Panzerwolf** » Fri Jan 10, 2014 12:41 pm

I built one too some time ago, kit's not that bad to build but it has some inaccuracies and fitting issues.
