Thanks Gentlemen!
I'll take you up on the Spielberger and whatever else you have Bob, but I'll probably buy the Jentz/Doyle (especially based on Jeff's endorsement). Spielberger's leans towards variants, but Jentz is more towards the main ones, correct?
I don't know why Panthers haven't caught my eye, my static stash is lousy with Tigers, Pz Is and 38(t) variants, but only one Panther among the pile.
A big part of the decision is to get the cupola for figure sculpting, so now I'll have all the main tanks covered.
In terms of the build, it'll be like my others, stock everything in terms of the guttywuts, but twisted, modded and dented otherwise. I'll be scouring the refs for interesting zim, but I'm not sure what the G had. I'd really love to add some some AA shields, so I may not even be building a G, I really don't know yet. Of course Octopus camo would be top of the list, so I'm all over the place, but the order isn't even 12 hours old.
Wasn't the barrel slop corrected in the newer kits? I'll address the arm with sheet metal. I just made an aluminum arm to make the DX6i truly self centering, so I have the practice. Is the space tight in this one? I eliminated the Y on the Pz IV for room but then realized I just voided the replacement warranty if it ever failed.
Leong, in terms of Danville, I wish. This thing will get built soonish, but the bench is swamped right now.
