Cool kit, with a few foibles with the tracks and running gear, but a fun build. Take your time with the torsion bars, road wheels, and track and you should have no problem.
Great to see another video from you. Lools like a decent kit on a cool vehicle, though your frustrations with the tracks will be shared by many modelers I am sure. I built those same tracks in metal (Masterclub) as even those were demoralizing. I have noticed other kits recently with similarly fragile suspensions with very small contact surfaces. Its like the person designing the CAD doesnt actually build kits and therefore doesnt understand that some areas need strong, positive attachment points.
It’s hard to fathom in this day that model companies are putting out stuff with garbage directions and these tiny contact surfaces. Tamiya showed us how 40 years ago. 🤨
Although I love the Panther2, I'm gonna be that guy and remind everyone that this Ausf. F turret with the rangefinder could not fit the 88L71 Kwk43. If you want a Panther with an 88, you need a bulge in the rear of the turret, like the one represented in modelcollect's E-50. My 2c 💰
Hey !!! It's been awhile seeing you here. I have phobia dealing with Amazing Hobby's tracks myself. And I love Panther too. Btw. Good build there.

Back from the dead 😊
The rumours of my death have been somewhat exaggerated. 😉

High pressure long barrelled 75 mm “magnum” gun. 😉😇
