looking for comments on panther g aftermarket part

how about something like dec 1st , gives people another month to order parts and its close enough to jan that those that can't make it in dec should be able to catch up (to my slow butt anyway)

Why don't you go ahead and get your thread set up. Then as people get their kits and start looking for and getting in their am parts, they can report that. Then when you get ready to start, you'll already have a good basis where everyone is headed.

Sounds good to me Bill and PantherLehr. Since it was Jon's idea for a group build, he should have the honor of making the thread.

oh it wasnt my idea [:0]someone made it on a post on the 1/35th Tiger group build
so whoever it was can start it. if anyone else wants to go ahead and start it its ok by me

Dec 1st sounds good to me, I'll order some parts this week and should have them by then. Thinking Fruil tracks,Aber PE, Eduard barrel,
and Verlinden engine. Maybe Atak resin zim as well, gotta watch the $ ( I need some for other projects!).

Okay, someone needs to take contol. PantherLehr, this was your thread. Wanna lead? Is this gonna be a Panther G build or a whatever you want A, D, or G? This is exciting. It'll probably take until Dec. just to come up with a camoflauge pattern. LOL At least that gives some time to get our goodies ordered. Is a time limit important, I kinda like a time limit, that will motivate me to finish it. Oh well, bottom line is to have fun. Derek, your going for the heavy a.m. goods! Are you going to do your own zimmerit?

I'm going to reserve judgment (and commitment) until after this weekend. Depends on what comes from the birthday fairy!!

I may get to have a Tamiya Panther, or maybe the Aber super set for the Dragon. We'll see. Maybe I'll just get a bag of coal or a switch...Oh yeah, that's Christmas, huh! Never could keep holidays straight!! lol

Derek, sounds like your watching your dollars all right. Watching them go right into your Panther, that is!! lol

What? It's 1/35 scale, I'm not supposed to spend 1/35th the money as the original?!
I want to do Fruil tracks because I haven't before and I hate these rubber bands.
If my barrel is straight or fixable I won't replace it. As for the Zim, I don't know if I want to do it myself or get some PE/resin,
the Atak set LOOKS great but I haven't seen a review on it yet.

Derek do you want to run this show, seems like we're a little shy here. I've got Eduard's p/e zim, so that should cut down my build time.

If it is ok with all I'll take it. How about it?
By Dec. my website should be up so I could host a page on the builds. I'm thinking of a Dec. 1 (approx.) start and finish by Jan. 15 to allow for Christmas. So If it is cool with everyone I'll start a build thread, ask for sticky status, and see if we get any other takers!

PS I suggest that it is open to any Panther from any manufacturer. This gives more options to those participating (someone that has a Dragon won't have to buy a Tamiya) and allows those watching to compare the different brands.

sure claymore go right ahead if you want to take it. i agree with the any panther part, i wouldnt put the finish date before febuary 1st though , some of us are prety slow builders

other than that everything sounds fine to me

Ok, I just didn't want to steal the thread.

COMING SOON! Panther group build thread!
