smuts Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, this is the new tool Panther with zimmerit started Sunday afternoon... lower hull built up torsion bars & fans built into the hull, suspension arms & both sprocket wheels on & those bloody DS tracks aren't going to sit on the sprockets well & I'll bet they're too long ( like the SEPS & M4's) Andy.

Guest snipersmudge Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 nice start Andy, surprised the DS tracks are loose, can you adjust the rear idler to take up the tension? or will they glue down onto the wheels Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Try heating 'em a bit too... they might wrap round the drive sprocket a bit easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Nice progress so far Andy! I will start my builds soon once my wrist is better. The bruise is coming out now so it shouldn't be much longer before I start plastic tickling again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuts Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hi guys,fitted the road wheels & sprayed the interior with hull red as a primer fans sprayed with gun metal... damaged storage box's fitted look better then I thought they would... now for those tracks...........

rwkennard Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi Andy Glad to hear you got your tracks ordered ok. I've been doing a bit of work on my Panther and have encounted another wee snag involving the magictracks! They don't fit onto the "U" shaped brackets on the rear of the upper hull. The bracket's need thinning and the tracks need opening. Hope this may provide some help to you. Cheers, Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
