I have finally got started on the Panther, now that I'm getting to the end with the Puma.
I started with the hull, the instructions tell you to build up the upper hull with the sponson bottoms (the bit above the tracks) attached & attach it to the lower hull. WRONG! There are flanges on the lower hull sides to attach the sponson bottoms to, which should fit under the flanges, but won't if you have already glued them to the upper hull. Fortunately the glue wasn't set and I managed to separate it, then build it up, but not without a bit of swearing!

Hi Graeme,
Good old instructions eh, sometimes less than helpful!
Good to see the progress though :thumb2:

Graeme,
Nice looking kitty - now got 2 in the stash - will observe from a distance if that's o.k. ?
Keep an eye on Komrad 453 Race - he's actually spying - the reason why he says there are so many wheels on German armour is because one of his techniques is to crawl underneath or let the vehicle drive over him to look for weaknesses under the hull. :tongue-out3: :tongue-out3:
Paul.
