    Bulldozing panther!

    Hi all, saw this on Farcebook and thought what a great diorama that would make, a panther D converted to rubble clearance duties (could of used an obsolete tank for that!) the germans also used a Stug chassis to do the same thing...

          Hi Lee
          Thats a most interesting photo. A nice 1/72 scale would make a manageable sized dio. Even the tree is only a few sticks :tongue-out3:

              Hi Jim,
              Even 1 35 you wouldn't need to have the tree, just a pile if rubble being shifted?!

                Hi Lee,

                Check out ICM or Zvezda as they both make a Panther D and they run between €20 and €25. You know you really want to build this puppy!!!

                Prost

                              Why didn't they leave the gun in place for all those stubborn bits you get in any cleaning job?
