Ernie Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I went digging in the dungeon to see what Panthers I had hiding there and came up with these two..... Panther G with all steel road wheels. The kit comes only with the late mantlet with the chin, however I found a replacement early G mantlet on Ebay so ordered that. I will have to see what I have for etch for this as the kit came with none. Also ordered a set of Echelon decals as well. And then we hive this one, Panther F and digging even deeper I came up with a Verlinden Coelian turret. Not sure where the rest of the parts for it are, but not a huge deal. This kit at least has supplied etch for the deck screens. I also ordered a pair of 37mm flak 43/ L60 barrels for this, which are far superior to the Verlinden supplied resin muzzles and plastic rod barrels. So, not sure if one, none, or both will be finished. I have also ordered a set of tracks, which should be good for either vehicle, so depending on what I find on hand for other accessories (etch, etc.) will be the determining factor. Also, the early G mantlet I have on the way came from a different tooled Dragon kit, so hopefully will fit the mounting arrangement of the kit I have without too much work, so that could factor in as well. But, these are my two options so I am going to try to make them work! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig Eater Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Nice to see the possibility of another Flakpanther in the GB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thanks guys, I did in fact start the Panther F hull last night, and as typical of Dragon kits, 4 parts were misnumbered in the first step 😡 This is gonna be fun! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The infamous Dragon instructions strike again. It's a shame they let themselves down in that respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
