Default Jagdpanther start

Finally started the Jagd. Hard to say how long this will take. Shooting for six to eight months.

Oh man this is gonna be good. I'm dying to do a totla scratch build Panther. Maybe an A model, that would be way cool. With a Co2 paintball system. 1:6 or 1:8 scale. Hey Breed have you done any large scale work. The biggets problem is the tracks and sprockets. I never found a home brew track setup that i really like, but I just cant shell out 5 to 6 hundred bucks for a set of Kenny Kong 1:8 or 1:6 metal tracks. Any suggestions.

I have been keeping a running picture collection of the build. They dont go together like you would think. Getting things to align is often very difficult.Agreat deal of file work is required. Then there are issues like this huge gap that will have to be filled.

Work on the Jagdpanther continues. None of the driveline or electronics have been installed. Tracks havent been built yet either. Guessing its about 120 pounds at this point.
