Input will be appreciated as this one gets built. Tamyia Pather G kit. Winter camo is the theme.

Nice! Early birthday present?

Look good so far Chris how long do you think before it is finished?

Subject: Re: New Pather G Sat Sep 30, 2017 11:09 pm

I've had the kit since April. Just havn't had time to work on it this summer. It will be several weeks until its complete. Good times!

Progress. Got the suspension installed. I test fit the upgraded tranny I got from ETO and have hit the first potential bump. The tranny, where it sits, will be about 1.5mm

aft where the stock tranny sits. I sent Robert from ETO an email with my concerns. Do any of you know if the stock tensioning system can soak up this extra? Do I have to get an upgrade tensioning system? Any input greatly appreciated. I'll be in Mississauga tomorrow with it as well.

Dusty Helping out and supervising

Tracks on and tensioned

Wow is that the standard gearbox from Tamiya ? Looks way more heavy duty than any Tamiya that I have seen.

Subject: Re: New Pather G Fri Oct 27, 2017 8:16 am

Motors and tranny are from ETO Armor. There is a pic of the Tamiya tranny earlier.

A bit of wavy brindling on the mantlet

Camo finished on the upper hull.

Barrel finished. This came out better than most. Did it last and was finally getting a handle on the airbrush.

Turret assembled.

And viola! An assembled working Panther G! I have some small details to finish up like decals and a bit more mud spattering.

Its a Snow Panther. So I figured I should drive it in the snow at least once.
