Test 2. Using ammo colors on the skirt

Darkearth74

Very nice,I've been one upped once again in this brutal game of searching for parts for hours and fighting paint clogs and mixture ratios ,I'm going to put my stuff up and take a very long break from my own failures and disappointments.

Panther F

THIS looks really great! ANY camo will work on the Panther F as these tanks were never completed.

Isn't the world of RC tanking a rewarding hobby... especially in the painting department when it all pays off in the end!

Thanks for popping by man. Yeah, I have a few ideas for the hull , hope it will be cool in the end, and you guy's will like it :-)

2SSHoffner

So Erik, these are basically the ones well be getting here?

Code501

Very nice Panther, Sollie! Looking forward to the finished tank.

I read you may want to install the DKLM PDSGB?
Did you use a 15 or 20Amp fuse on the 550 motor to the Clark board on your JagdTiger?
Did you use a fuse between the battery and the Clark?

Imex-Erik

Yes, we will have them as RTR models and as a kit too.
I'm liking the start of the new paint job.... I need to tear mine down as well but I just have too many projects going atm. I'll be watching this one close!

Crius

I'M pretty sure Sollie's JT has an IBU.

sollie

I did not use a fuse :-) at all (on the Clark board ore motors ) Simply coz I was to eager to try it out . On the IBU I was told by Ivano, it was no such need .

I can tell you that I have run about 5x 6000 mha lipos to now on my lawn, and up down powerturning and what not . Not a single hickup . And new DKLM is (ordered) in the making from :

Erik, one thing I would like to point out , if you have any saying in such things. if you plan to stock on the 'unpainted' one to, I see no reason why they should glue on all the stuff on the sides ( tool holders , spare tracks , cleaning rod stowage.) I strugle now to remove them nicely before paint. They really did good work in the glue department on this one , hehe.

Imex-Erik

You mean something like this? Already ahead of you there. I'm NOT a fan of pulling them off either.

Panther F

Anyone know if these fit the HL chassis well? I know the HL fits with some adjustments on a Tamiya chassis.

Erik, do we know when and roughly how much yet?

Imex-Erik

Yes, but this may be one of the last to do so. Just a fair warning Will also fit the Jagdpanther as well.
Around 460-480 for RCU members for the F. Hopefully I'll have the site launched before then so I can add coupons and such first, I've got a lot of new ideas I want to test out. That will be with the 390 4:1 gearboxes, 360 rotation, and all the metal components we usually offer. Not sure on the kits minus electronics yet though.

Ok enough of me sniping this thread.... MOAR pics!! Seriously though, I cant wait to see that pattern!!

sollie

Working as fast I can Erik :-)

Just took a de tour on the side boards I did not intended at first..





Turrets done , and ready for dust and what not

sollie

On this 'no paint/electronics vers. I think 'they' could just leave all off . not only the tools that are on the sprue ( mine came like that ) . But tool holders , spare tracks , cleaning rod stowage 'the lot '

2SSHoffner

I know this would be tough, due to 2 different molds, but 1 without mudgaurds and 1 with would be great. Not just on this, but the Tiger, KT, Stumtiger, Panther ect..

Imex-Erik

I'll see what I can do ok? It probably wont be for a while as most have already been assembled but in the future I don't see this being too big of an issue. I wish there were some other tracks besides the early and late versions on the Panthers so I could pester them for more The early is too bland IMO.

sollie

Some work on the lower hull .

Tanker 10

Lots of work being done here Sollie, looks good.

MAUS45

Nice damage and the shading on the turret is great.

philipat

nice work on the fenders and the schurzen. Quick question (maybe I missed the answer in an earlier thread): where did you get them? Are they Aber, Voyager, or did you make them?

Panther F

I like the direction this is headed. Some parts left with primer as if not to be painted, the high temperature coated barrel and the Schürzen with camo... just looks like a well thought out plan!

sollie

thank you sir :-)
Yes I'm a sucker for primer parts, but I hope once done with it, it will be something thal all can accept , hehe . I'm going to leave most tools off .
