Default Info on Panther

Info on HL Panther please. I noticed the HL version is different form just about any picture I can find on the net. I am looking for a realistic shceme for this version but cant find a likeness that matches. The front hull, below the machine gun steps out on the HL version, but every image I can find shows this being a constant slope to the joint with the under hull. help?

Hi Martin g,

Yes...the 'Pantiger' is very inaccurate but can be re-modelled to a more scale shape. with a lot of effort......as I am finding out....I have been re-sculpturing the hull of the Panther to a more accurate shape and will be posting pickies on my development work soon........

cheers

The HL Panther is way out of scale.
It's great for a starting point but it needs a lot of work to make it look more like a proper scaled panther.

The body is too short and too wide.
The gun is short and stubby.
Too many wheels and the tracks are too wide.
