Default Started the JagdPanther Project

thanks To Buckeye for most of the parts to Start this project
i had no clue how to do the main gun i wanted recoil
i won a Servo from a forum out this way called RC Canada
i won a HiTec HS-425BB deluxe servo, 1 Lipo storage bag, 4 in 1 Hex Driver, 50 pcs 1/8'' heatshrink tubing
2 9x1 dual lock velcro strips some doublesided tape a t-shirt and a Lanyard plus a bunch of stickers
which was pretty cool

so i used the servo for my recoil and all i had to make this was styrene so i hope it last i also made some welds just used a soldering iron
so here is the start hope to do more soon

oh i forgot the front forks from an old motocycle toy was also used

I like it. i always thought the recoil should be spring loaded. Takes some of the jerkyness out of the servo set ups.

Nice work, but just an observation.

By the time the hooded Flammvernichters were introduced, the application of the zimmerit paste had ceased. So the 2 were most likely not seen together on the Jagd... according to Osprey "Panther Variants" ~ 1942-45, page 19.
