Default 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>
