Just posting a few pics of the progress so far on my panther , so far I have just about finished the installation of the CMK drivers set , and am working on the aber FuG5 radio set ( front details and wires not yet put in ) . The Cmk kit is very nice , the details are crisp with no sinkholes,although it takes some fiddling to get the parts to fit correctly , and the resin parts are very brittle , some are also pretty small making use of a dremel to cut them free without breaking them difficult at best ! This kit also comes with many (50 plus) eduard PE details which is nice as well . The instructions have been pretty good on this kit , A big problem on other manufacterers resin kits in the past for me , usaully I have to check lots of ref pics to find parts locations, not too bad in this case .anyhow enough yappin' ,.....pic time .
And this is the "wiring" plan for the aber radio kit , which I have yet to do ,but intend to , I also have to get another radio for the command link as this is going to be a command tank , so it needs an additional radio set( FuG 7, or 8) in the fighting compartment as well .
You may notice the engine in the back which was from another manufacturer TMD if I remember correctly , I bought it for my jadgtiger a ways back , but I think I am going to put it in this model instead , (same engine maybach HL230 P 30) tell what you think and if any mistakes may have been made here , I am a big boy and can take the criticism !
