What model Panther is this?

What model is this? Anybody?




If you said "No driver's vision flap, monocular sight, late-model hatch--that's a Panther G" you get half credit.

The correct answer is: radio-controlled, metal scale models produced by some guy who has the Most Desirable Job in the World as far as I'm concerned. Some of you Brits may already know about this guy and his website. I just discovered it. He has a one-quarter scale Tiger. One-quarter scale!!

Video of the 1/4 Tiger. Very, very close to the real thing.

Wow. I forgot to mention this part:

1/4th Scale Tiger 1 - prices from GB£5600


5600 Pounds Sterling must be darn close to $10,000 American.


1/4th Scale Tiger 1 !!
Massive size, 63" long in body, 36" wide, 28" tall, and 7' long with gun! Full option weight 200kgs! Will run on either 12v or 24v, all options available similar to the 1/6th tanks, but bigger and louder! Also, 1/4th T34/85 currently under test.

I'm ready to quit my job working for the Man and go work in this guy's shop. Holy cow.
