RE: Panther A conversion
Very Very Very true. The group I belong to for R/C tanking are very laid back, and I am the only axis guy running. Everybody else runs shermans. We sound a little boring, but all of us are starting out. All of us used to build 1/35 armor and were members of AMPS and got turned off by the local judges. We all needed a change and so we started building 1/16 like the static trumpter one, and now have moved on to the Tamiya full option R/C. We all like detail, and the wedge at the front of the Panther and the way it is set up by Tamiya bugs the living snarf out of us. I thought about complete scratch building the upper hull out of metal and making it all based on screws, so I can unscrew parts and screw back on with accurate screws but ran into the problem finding a 1/8 hex screw head or smaller. so far I have a Tamiya panther g 1/16, WeCoHe rear hull, and the profiline panther D kit coming. All in All it is looking to be a lot of fun!</p>
