FYI ~ That is the guide for the starter crank, below the right exhaust armored guard.

Thumbs up RE: My Tamiya Panther
Really nice work... a lot of money and effort.

It is a shame paint is next as many don't know how much CAN go into a build.

Thanks for the compliments!
For some time it'll remain unpainted - I'll take it to the Hobby Expo as it is...

I am speechless!
I have a lot of questions but do not know where to start.
The detail parts are outstanding.

Awesome work!

When you paint it, what primer will you use? I've had difficulty getting a primer to adhere to the brass.

Thanks everyone!
I’ve used Tamiya primer.
Today I received the wheels I was looking after so long for my Panther. These are Asiatam metal wheels, extremely rare! :crazy:

Wow Eddy, did they come with the separate bolts or were they pre-assembled? Look really nice!!! Also are those the Asiatam Tool boxes on the rear or Aber?
