Hi Everyone
I bought these two kits early last year cheap before the new panther kits were announced . So now its build for Fun . I know the kits are wrong but end of the day its. a Model So what I have is two Cyber hobby 9103 Panther 2 kits Friulmodel:- ,Alt-21 panther 2 track. ALT -37 late Tiger 2 track Et models:- German Panther 2 E35-117, Additional Armour plates for Panther F EA35-70 Voyager Etch:- . German tank E50 PE35505 Aber Etch :- Aerials set for Command tanks R-30 , Panther Ausf F and Panther 2 35053 NC 35155 panther F Barrel Model 1:- Wide Tracks Tiger 2 with E50 Etch added with a few tweaks, Gun barrel is my issue here what metal barrel represent the one in the kit. Model 2 :- this will be Panther 2 Command panther side plates is my issue unsure what ones to buy as ether are so many choices on the market, but depends which make of etch I use or Buy. These are just Fun builds and to give me something to do till I get my hands on a late Tiger 2 by hobbyboss and a Meng BergePanther . I have looked at the final drives on both Panthers and Tiger 2 Tanks and looked a few other things and spotted that you could swap final drives and Tracks . This could have been done as a get you home method or new build. Spotted a few more things that could be changed when looking , but thats my 43 yrs on tanks and still working on them .

Hi Everyone Well I been busy so what have I done well I modified the hull by removing stowage brackets including the bins. Built the Flui Tiger 2 track , I used brass dress maker pins 20mm long 0.65 to pin the track together , I did pre drill half way through. came across a issue that is the sprockets I wanted to use I can not due to they don't match the track so will have to use the Kit ones now thats done now I will start on the hull. Late Tiger 2 front mudguards with ribs on the outside , E50/Tiger 2 side mud guards not all fitted may make some rear ones unsure yet . stowage on back pdf hull , new bins and storage on decks , I may for add the splint armour to teh vents but we see I may also add vertical plates around the rear of the deck I will see . Ossie

Hi All Well I am having a bad hair day as they say ! so I making a set of very LATE Tiger 2 front mudguards for my Panther 2A thats what I am calling it .
so measured out all the copper sheet went to get the soldering IRON and its KURPUT so for the amount of times I use one scrap that idea . not going to buy one.
ok use super glue , built the frame went to add some more stuff and it all fell apart. possible glue failure . so have to go get some
so back to basics so I am now making the mudguards in plastic , forming them then adding all the details.
so watch this space for the next instalment lol Ossie

Hi Everyone so the process has begun . so I have scratch built in plastic and yes I have since taken these pictures cleaned them up but you can see what they look like when one track is laid under them . so One side not sure which side will have the extension fitted. so what did I use , well I used 20 tho plastic card formed then add more strips etc and master class resin rivets which just add to the detail. hope you like what I have done so far. Ossie

Hi Everyone so a little update , so what have I done , well I used the etch rear bins and I have put a dent in the middle of left hand one and few dents in the right hand one. The exhaust I have scratch built , they look different in the picture but Biot on the vehicle lol so with new mudguards means new headlight bracket etc, I will not be adding the gun crutch . as I said its a fun build and its all about using king tiger & panther tank bits to make a tank . hope you like it Ossie

Looks like you're having fun with these two. Both look great with all the extras on them, and now with some color.

Hi all Thanks Rob and every one for the comments. ok the Panther 2T painted base coat main colours in Scale 75 paints very matt and very rich h , hard to spray but look good . and just been varnished with Vallejo Matt varnish two seal it then back to scale 75 paints to finish this one off. Panther 2 this one has had a DARK green base over the black primer and will be left to dry for 24 hrs then comes the Next Green then the Dots for a Pattern bit like the Waffen SS helmet coverings just greens . hope you like it.
