LSP_Mike Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I for one appreciate the comments of JeepsTanksGuns, there is a lot of mis-info that has accumulated over the years, and the citing of sources is fantastic for any discussion. Parkers book on the King Kitty is invaluable. The work done is top notch, and as a basic modeling guide alone, it is worth the money. I have a few 1/16 tanks, and may wind up selling my 1/35 stuff to focus on this scale. I want to get a king kitty, and at some point a Panther. I'll hope that Trumpy does a Jagdpanther down the road, as that is one of my favs. I'd like to see some Sherman love too.

dora9 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I agree there was a lot of miss informations, but still a Tiger or Panther in good working order, wich was not so frequent, where impressive beasts! I won't go as far as Parker went, have his book and what he did is totaly mind blowing! The major modifications he did and the scratch build items are available on AFV site. He did resin version of the major things like the ammo racks for the hull, wich is a pain in the b.. to modify. So nice build, rework what is in open sight, add some details in the engine bay and the interior, a good paint job with weathering and some mud. Will have to learn how to do realistic mud! So got my build all planned up I guess. Edited November 1, 2018 by dora9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Taken from the book of Waldemar Trojca on King Tiger. That's the one I want to do. Gazzas, Out2gtcha and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware, a Jagdpanther is in the works now, Mike, to follow on the heels of the Panther. If worse comes to worst, there's always the Tamiya 1:16 kit. dora9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I have the Bandai 1/24th kit with interior as a cushion. They also did the king Kitty, and panther, so I;m good for a bit. dora9, Out2gtcha and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dora9 Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Did Bandai M-60 a loooong time ago and it did look like an M-60! To go side by side with Tamiya Centurion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got both the Academy (Tamiya) 1:25 Panther and Jagdpanther, but either one in 1:16 scale (specifically the Jagdpanther) would be absolutely great.
