Gary - when are you doing the Flak Panther? I've wanted to re-create the hard to find Cyber Hobby boxing, but wasn't sure what sprue was in there to make it "special". Doing a different Flak Panther now...can't stop with just one! Hey Dupes, Im gonna build the Flak Panther next year some time. Gotta do my own thing as the Cyber hobby kit seems to have vanished or some one want an ungodly amount of money for it. I reckon when i build it it wont be accurate, but whats 'Accurate' exactly as theres not alot of info on it. Ill just fake it!!! Thanks Boo. It IS a sweeet kit! The molded on zimm is DA BOMB!

Hahahaha...I was thinking the same thing. Wish I could find a copy of the instructions, even, to figure out what else is in there. Can't imagine it's much more than a mounting plate for the gun?

Found a parts breakdown:
Parts Genealogy.
Five generic sprues: vehicle jack; MG34; hull pan; details; clear parts. Four Panther Ausf.G sprues; road-wheels, spare track and unused torsion bars Seven Panther Ausf.D/A sprues: two each suspension swing-arms; two each idler wheels and drive sprockets, engine deck details; superstructure and hull detail parts; glacis plate and details; sponsons, tools and detail parts. Four Sd.Kfz.7/1 sprues: two each 2cm Falkvierling 38; 2cm Flakvierling 38 with gun mount adapter plate; gun shield. One new sprue: gun mounting girders.
Looks like all you need to come up with is the gun mounting girders and the gun mount adapter plate from the Sd.Kfz.7/1 kit. Pretty sure I've got that...shouldn't be too hard to replicate?

I would indeed be interested in a copy of those instruction to find out how the girder setup fits in there!

Hello chaps. Apologies for the web image, dark here so tricky to take a good pic. Postie struggled to the door with this today, Tamiya's greatest 1/32 achievement.

Bill, that's the plan. Although I've read there are some questionable color call outs but dunno which ones. I am wondering if the blue part is correct. I hope so cuz I like that one right there. Dicky that's the type pf comments I am seeing about this kit. Got a link to your cutaway? Caunter scheme is one of the more debated ones in terms of the blue vs. a slate-gray color. Dig around on the 'net and you should be able to find enough info to make it work.

Plenty of PE experts on this site Steven, fire yer questions out in Q&A and yer'll get inundated with answers fella - it is suppposed to be a very nice kit I just took the plastic off the box, there is NO way I will be able to build this kit.!!! Looks like I will need to see what I can get for it in trade or sell it.. If you don't mnd me asking,why do you think you won't be able to do it? Jeff T.

Oooooh ooooooh I think I know Bill!!! Ask me, ask me, ooohh ooohh!!!! me me me me!!! Is it a Baby Elefant? What? There isn't? How the ferk should I know, it's German! Bill errrr.....dunno can we have another clue? The 2nd half is actually 2 kits...just found out about the 2nd one courtesy of the Squadron 25% off sale on Academy, Trumpeter, and Hobby Boss kits. So now I've got 2 kits that should be arriving soon...the first goes with the tracks above. The 2nd...also German...but from Hobby Boss: Probably a surprise to many that they aren't Dragon kits!

I received today the first batch of my shopping: This one came from Ireland. The stowage items are really wonderful, greatly sculpted and molded, and, most of all, filled to the brim with stunning details. I'm sure they will add a lot to my builds. And, surprise surprise, he added a bag of free gift items BTW one of the free items suits perfectly my ongoing build so you will see it painted soon

I'll have to take a pic or two of the book. Just got home a bit ago and have been looking through it. With this book and the TankArt #2 I will have to start a Sherman VERY soon.
