On the 11th of Dec., 1944, the 10th SS Frundsberg Div. took delivery of 25 Panther G's.

http://www.panther1944.de/en/sdkfz-171-pzkpfwg-panther/truppenteile/panther-zuweisungslisten/panther-zuweisungsliste-1944.html

https://can-amrctankclub.canadian-forum.com/t640-hl-panther-g-represents-a-tank-made-from-oct-1944-on

My next build will be a representation of one of these.

Frundsberg had a distinctive unit emblem which can be seen on the rear turret hatch of on a Panther in this historic B&W;

The crosses that were on the sides of the hull near the front indicate MAN production, here are a couple pages from the article I posted in  the Paint Section, showing info on MAN Panthers from this time period;

This one will have a Clark Board, 3:1's, 400 motors and a Tamiya receiver.

Will you be including an IR sighting gear, if that division used it? I always liked that equipment. 

The turret sides look interesting, very Van Gogh Razz

I had not planned on it, I am not sure they had them and likely not many, though some were used by other units in the Ardens and the Munchenberg Div. had them.

Besides, they would have to be removable since one would be in the way of the IR receiver  Laughing

Heh it would be interesting to find out if they did. Great place for an IR emitter! 

Any plans for recoil? I know some HL Panthers come with the stock basic recoil unit but I'm curious if the Asiatam unit will fit... IMO it works awesome with Clark's. I'll have to email Dominique @ rctank.de and see.

This one is finally good to go  Very Happy

Drives great, everything works very well on it.

Clark Board, set up for my Tamiya receiver, 3:1's, and according to my tests last night, a very good, strong emitter from Curtis

After Dean got Glen's old beautifully painted "435" battling I figured it was time to get this one running. Mike very helpfully checked it out for me and determined the old Clark board was blown so he re-formatted my screwed up MicroSD card for the IBU2U and set up my radio. This one is another masterful one of his paint jobs but the frosted glass coating over the great paint job had over the years become very opaque so I tore everything off of it and washed the dirt off off with alcohol solution and repainted all the tools, tracks etc and added a few things and then gave it a few semi gloss varnish coats while doing some more weathering on it followed by a flat coat. The old Clark battle unit base and the muzzle flash crapped out almost immediately but I had a spare Tamiya TBU and a spare Heng Long flash so I replaced them. This tank runs great. The left gearbox shaft is slightly bent but no matter how much I've tortured it the tracks stay on unlike my Taigen Panther. Great tank in the snow as well. Really happy and since everything was spares the cost was nothing Very Happy Very Happy Sorry about the images but I feel like buying a lottery ticket anytime the images are not rotated Panther, 10th SS Frundsberg Div.

Looks great Martin ! It ran great even with the bended shaft and it was one of the nice motors/gearbox combination. With the IBU2U you can crawl at pretty low and realistic speed as well.

It runs at a very realistic speed. I don't think there would be any problem getting it certified. Also I find with the plastic tracks and general lightweight the battle damage isn't so severe it becomes a slow moving pillbox after a few hits like the heavy metal tracked Taigens. I'm not worried about the shaft for now. As long as it keeps running like it is now I'm very happy. It's received my pail of approval. Panther, 10th SS Frundsberg Div. 1f600  Thanks for your help with it
