Morning Mr T This looks like a good build and the benefit of an electric motor Just had a look at the PDF's for this Build The Product Overview and Pack 1 are the same.

Interesting to see how much better the paintjob looks in the official build vs. the instructions. I love how Dave replicates the individual instruction photos right down to the angles. It makes comparison so much easier. Looks like a definitive buy to me now.

Looks like a definitive buy to me now. Glad you like and purposely done that way as the instructions photos dont show the parts at their best.
Its about to g on sale in Germany
Its a far better offering than the static Panther from Hachette which seems to have many shortcomings even by comparison of the previous Tiger

I was utterly surprised by how ... unusually meh ... the Hachette offering is. There's big black screws all over the surface of the Panther. The prepaint makes it look like a toy. There's broken parts in their own ad photos. It's like the worlds most apathetic partwork offering. Which is strange because Hachette has so many other really great kits running. I'm not sure who the target group is for this. Collectors won't buy it for the inaccuracies. Model builders won't buy it for the lack of actual model building. The RC crowd won't buy it, because it's static. The general populace doesn't really buy German WW2 tanks for fear of being called Nazi lovers. Not sure who's left. Out of the three partworks tanks coming to market here this January, the DeAgo one is definitely the one with the most appeal.

Got the second order in I think. Or maybe the first. More likely the second though. Hopefully it goes through flawlessly for once.
