Started the JagdPanther Project
 

thanks To Buckeye for most of the parts to Start this project
i had no clue how to do the main gun i wanted recoil
i won a Servo from a forum out this way called RC Canada
i won a HiTec HS-425BB deluxe servo, 1 Lipo storage bag, 4 in 1 Hex Driver, 50 pcs 1/8'' heatshrink tubing
2 9x1 dual lock velcro strips some doublesided tape a t-shirt and a Lanyard plus a bunch of stickers
which was pretty cool

so i used the servo for my recoil and all i had to make this was styrene so i hope it last i also made some welds just used a soldering iron
so here is the start hope to do more soon

oh i forgot the front forks from an old motocycle toy was also used

Servo recoil I stallation looks very nice an neat! Btw that second photos I a very very nicely done model!

LOL, the real picture you found is a 1/35 model and photoshop

Wow that looks good for a model

ya looked real to me i even zoomed in to look closer ...lol

I like it. i always thought the recoil should be spring loaded. Takes some of the jerkyness out of the servo set ups.

Nice to see you finally starting this project, off to a great start!

Thanks Panther G i hope it works once i put the elevation

Thanks Buckeye still waiting on some parts but i figure might as well start

I LOVE that paint scheme. Keep us updated.

Super, another JP build, I'm all in man.

damn fine putty work

Thanks Sollie
did some more putty and started working on the inside

Nice work, but just an observation.

By the time the hooded Flammvernichters were introduced, the application of the zimmerit paste had ceased. So the 2 were most likely not seen together on the Jagd... according to Osprey "Panther Variants" ~ 1942-45, page 19.
