                        the JR barrels are in two parts (apart from the firefly) carefully clean the seam and glue .
                        ive started getting the Eduard Barrels now becouse they are so good, and fit so well

                        i must be the only one who hasnt started?

                        Jon, do you have to sand the barrel or is it good to go?

                        Eric, I've got the Eduard barrel for my Tiger and it's absolutely beautiful. No snading necessary. I don't know why yours for the Panther should be rough. The muzzle brake on the Jordi Rubio barrels, on the other hand, are cast white metal and do need clean up to make them look good, but their barrels are okay.

                        Have fun;

                        Actually Bill I guess I was expecting a smooth finish, but it looks just like it is, built on a lathe. I figured that must be correct, but like I said, I'm new with them. Clown [:o)]

                        tigerman i woul think your barrels good to go, but if you want to sand it use 1000 wet n dry or the finest you can get

                        i was looking at my mums house in the Attick and have found a Italeri Bergpanther. are there any links to make it any good? ive herd about it being wrong in alot of parts

                        i have also got some new books and the Dragon Panther D for my Birthday and a PC game Call of Duty so i might be doing something other than building panthers
                        , so now more options for what to build?

                        I just got my final parts a few days ago, so I haven't started yet. I was only going to wash the kit in soap and water, so it will be ready to go.

                        Nick, I'll wash mine before painting them but I've never bothered for the build.

                        I know I get enough oils from my hands on a kit when I'm building that it's not going to matter enough to bother but I will wash them before I paint because that is critical.

                        i wash them while everthing is still on the sprue.
                        then again before paint.
                        i figure i need every possible advantage.
                        i have never had problem w/ mold release interfering w/ glue.
                        but why chance it, right?

                        I wash them while they are on the sprue, because I figure that the model might get damaged if I wash it after it was built.

                        is the group build limited to 1/35 only, or do u guys have room for "the little people" (1/72 and 1/76 scale) ? it sounds like fun, but i'd rather use a kit i've already got than have to buy a new one... i've already started on a ausf G in 1/72, and i've just about finished my first 1/35 build, the tamiya Walker Bulldog.
                        don't worry, if it's 1/35 only, that's ok... really.... sniff sniffle...Sad [:(]Sad [:(]

                        What do you say, should we let Frosty and J-Hulk play?

                        I would personally welcome both Frosty and Brian with open arms. (Frosty's liable to be done a little before any of we are, though. But that's okay.

                        thanx, bill !
                        and as for being finished before the rest of the gang, i'm not so sure...
                        if i do an ersatz M10 (hey, it's still a panther under there, rite ?), i'll have to do some scratchbuilding... i got the idea from the Armor Conversions book and was thinking that it might be fun to try in 1/72 instead !
                        it's going to be really interesting to see what everybody comes up with.
                        have a good weekend !

                        The Ersatz M-10 would be cool, I don't think anyone else was gonna try it.

                        Frosty,

                        What book is it to which you're refering?? Where did you find it? It sounds interesting!

                        Thanks

                        As long as it is Panther related, anything goes. Why not? We have bent the rules a bit, but we will become more knowlegable on the entire Panther family this way. Thumbs Up [tup] Glad to have Frosty and Brian join our Panther party. Sign - Welcome [#welcome]

                        The sag doesn't look natural, too taught. The track should be touching the second roadwheel. I checked a few of my references to verify this.

                        Frosty go for the Ersatz, that would be cool. Cool [8D]

                        I got my kit in the mail yesterday. Tamiya Panther G late with pe zim.Only thing I have really noticed so far is that one end of the pe looks like it got slammed intot he end of the box or something. Best I can tell none of the pieces are to bad off but I've never messed with pe before. Other than that looks like a good deal for $25.
