Tanks & Trolls

Panther

Athough it had a disastrous combat debut, the Panther matured to become one of the best all-round German tanks of the war.

Conceived as a response to the Russian T-34, the Panther featured sloped frontal armour, wide tracks, a powerful engine and a good gun. As a result, it had good mobility, especially on rough terrain, and was available in large enough numbers to make a difference in many battles'

This model is the Newest from tamiya, RC full option Panther

As you can see, I added a few extra detail parts to the stock kit	Mainly the armoured skirts and extra track links to the turret	Oh, and a ladder!
The finished tank	Close up showing damage to skirt
	Note the panels on teh crew heater vent, little splash of colour allways helps to break up the mono-tones of tank camo
	The usual stowage piled up there!	I reckon the only person who benefited from WWII was the chap who made buckets, there seems to be one on every tank!

'I'm telling you' said Fritz 'Grey IS the new black' He pulled out his best silk hanky to show Herman the bespoke needlework initials		Also opened the deck hathes on the model, the originals are moulded into the hull, cheapskate Tamiya designers, meh!
