Why not build it here on the forum? It's battle ready so therefore it does have the capablilty of being R/C'd.

I am also looking at a Panther from this outfit. I am very curious to find out how well these go together, and what the real cost is to get them running. I would be very interested in reading a thread about how you make out with this. If you have a good experience, chances are I would jump on a project like this for myself.

You must own a rivet gun though! A Sherman would be too cool!

They also have a bunch of youtube videos available, looks like a good deal for a 1/6:

Considering the cost, if I can find the space I might go for the Jagdpanzer IV. I would rather have a Sherman to sit next to those M5's. []

I have a panzer 4 hull and turret built. I plan on silver soldering all the corners and grinding them square. It will also add mor rigidity to the model.

Hello leo2A6Owner,
I'm getting closer to ordering the PZ IV kit,and was wondering if you was over-all happy with that kit.Did you try soldering all the corner's. ?? I printed up some of the construction plans and was wonder what method was used to fill the apperent gaps.The best price I have found was $624.00 with shipping.Any addvice or comments before I order would be very helpfull.

A word of caution with the Battle Ready Armor tanks. They do not have working suspention on them. They even state so on there web site. You can get them with it for a price but base models dont have it. This would be a must with such a heavey vehicle. Especially if your going to make it an RC tank.

Hello Dap,
Well for now the 1/6 Stuarts have keep me from buying a 1/6 metal model,and just waiting for my 1/6 hummer.But now i'm on the look out for a 1/9 abrams,if you know anyone who has one for sale or you happen to run across one let me know.If I find one of the 1/9 abrams it will satisfiy me for a while,but I still won't rule out one of the metal ones down the road.

Hello Dap,
Hey I guess I just bought a NON RC Stuart and I'm wondering if you would know if the parts on one of these is the same as the ones on the RC version models.Didn't realy think I would be the high bidder on this tank,but it's mine now.I had thought when I bid on it that I would use it for a parts tank,but then now I'm wondering if the parts are the same.I would think they are,but hoping you might know.?? the suspence will be killing me waiting for it to get here.?

There are many parts that are enterchangable. The static has the more realistic tracks and wheels. I recall the turret basket has room for a standing figure. Spotlight where the volume knob is. About it as I remember.

Well I got word back today reguarding the scratch built 1/6th Tiger 1. Will be getting the directions where to pick it up next weekend and will be going to Ottawa Ont. Canada on the weekend of the 31st and bringing it home. The I will decide whether to leave it static or go RC with it. Waiting will be worse than waiting for Xmas morning when I was a kid.... LOL

Hi all,

if you are interested in the BRA Panther G check out my online WIP in a forum for 1/6 right here: http://www.sixtharmygroup.com/portal...ic.php?t=14852

Find a Tiger 1 I built for another customer right here: http://www.sixtharmygroup.com/portal...ic.php?t=16102


A short story of those combined: http://www.sixtharmygroup.com/portal...ic.php?t=16118

These tanks are static but could be fitted to r/c which was not ordered by the customers I built these for.

If you have questions about this scale tanks just email me.

Hans

Hey all i am lookig at the Jagdpanther 1/6 But i am building a Leopard 2A6 Scratch build at the moment it has been an ongoing project for about 5 years on and off.
I have been looking and enquiring about these steel monsters and the only Tank in this line that has suspention available is the Tiger 1 at 180US for this upgrade from great models.com is there any other vendors that are stocking these in the US or Canada.
