Tamiya Panther Test Run

[ftge87]

of all the tanks of ww 2 the panther is the best looking it looks like a main battle tank.

[subron6er]

looks great ! What is the base color you used on the hull and road wheels? I like it,,,, nice work. Jeff

[valtravarna]

I always upgrade my tanks with metal tracks when i buy them i find the tracks supplied are pretty weak i always seem to lose them when operating on grass

[Klampek07]

nice tank, i want his ! :)

[FDNY612]

All you need is Panzerlied playing to go along with the video and you're all set ;)

[ewoke685]

how much are tey and were can i buy one?

[rotodingo]

Tracks are to much tightened on this vid.

[dutchforces]

Cool, rc is also very cool! I just finished my design of a full scale 1:1 Hetzer. Build will start in mid april and it will be ready for a show in belgium 4 months later if all goes as planned

[grompix1]

Looking forward to seeing it run.

@dutchforces

So you ever went thru with it? The 1:1 Hetzer?

[dutchforces]

@Toyman07 sure did but it took way more time then i thought plus i have less time then i thought xD. Its made of a frame and drivingplates welded on to that so its a little heavy but thats nice. finding the right tracks was a little problem but they were shiped from the eastblock. got a 2,3L turbo diesel instaled :)

@dutchforces

Cool! Would love to take a look at it..Any links to some pics etc?

[biggzyboys]

geday are heng long rc 1:16 tiger 1s and panthers are any good and i think grompix1 told me that heng long tanks can be as good as tamiyas pleas reaspond

thank u

[grompix1]

The cheaper HenLong toy tanks are a good start in the hobby and you can upgrade them to almost Tamiya standard (at a cost). The Henlong 'Panther' does not look much like a real Panther; more like a 'PanTiger'! The other Henlong tanks look good though.

[aitken1965]

@grompix1 The new Heng Long Panther G looks every bit as good as a Tamiya but it's not in the same league mechanically or electronically.

once you get those metal tracks on there, it will run a lot more realisticly. great job on the build. nice work!!

[grompix1]

Thanks 3819oli. Yep, can't wait to see how it runs with the metal tracks.

[3819oli]

it will run better with metal tracks. what would you have, the tiger or the panther???

[grompix1]

My first RC tank was the Tiger and it was (is) a brilliant model so I would still recommend that one.

[3819oli]

i already have the leopard (needs painting) and the king tiger, but i am stuck on which one next. panther or the tiger?? if you want a real challenge, try building the leopard.

[LerhChang]

Another impressive film of the impressive tank, after watching your 1/16 Tiger just a few hours ago.

I could see that you have opened the driver's hatch and input the driver. Nice work!

[grompix1]

Thanks LerhChang, your comments are much appreciated.

[DavroONE]

Very impressive, I like the driver and the commander figurines and the scale speed, it looks very heavy as well.

excellent video and a perfect assembled tank!

my tank is still "under construction" (chassis is running...)

[grompix1]

Thanks David. Hope you get as much enjoyment out of building your Panther as I did. Put up some video footage of it when its finished.

[DCMclarenFan]

best regards to both of you guys,
