Sounds like a great idea Anthony! Would like to build some armor again.

I have wanted to try one of the Tamiya 1/48 armour kits and this could be the perfect excuse.

Can I use my Panther G already under construction?

June to Jan 1 should be good.
What about other derivatives based upon the platform? Jagd, Berge, Flak, etc?

That makes sense,any Panther variant allowed.

I won't be getting in on this one this time around but this all sounds like a good idea to me. Looking forward to seeing you guys build and learning from you all.

I have a Bandai 1/48 Ausf.GSd.Kfz.171 Panther in the stash that would fit here. Or maybe a FlakPanzer 4, is that a Panther derivative?

You guys make me curious. I will not join myself, because I want to clear my bench at relaunch of my workshop, but I'll be following with interest.

Can I use my Panther G already under construction? You have to take it all apart again first! Actually since it is not in paint yet and at that massive size will probably take longer to paint than most will to build then why not?

Don't forget the jagdpanthers !!! We didn't! They were on my list.

Bergepanther seemed like that was the holy grail of many modelers until Meng came out with theirs.Should make a great scene.

Bergepanther seemed like that was the holy grail of many modelers until Meng came out with theirs.Should make a great scene. There is the early version put out by ICM a few years ago and now being reboxed by Revell but it is a bit "plain" for my taste's. And recently released as a diorama in a box but even if I could find one I think I would have to take out a second mortgage to get it. And the absolutely ancient (1990s) Italeri late version that is actually supposed to be pretty good but is only a few dollars cheaper than the very nice Meng kit. Also the Takom early version kit which no doubt is spectacular but very, very pricey. Also harder to find than I would have thought. Then there is the Hobby Boss late version from a couple of years ago. These must be gold plated for what they are asking for them! The Meng kit looks to me to be the perfect combination of version, detail, availability and price.

95% sure I will be able to join in. I have a pretty cool kit idea. Can the airplane guys join in with the post war jet? ?? With appropriate mods

So many Panthers, but probably Tony was mainly thinking of the tracked ones...

I may have to jump in here. Now, which one...the Tammy Jagdpanther, the Takom Panther A with the Stabrokrane, or the Meng Bergepanther?
