About a JSI item, but not the F-14!
Well lets get back to the JSI Panther and not the F-14. I know the color scheme for the Panther was discussed a lot also. But, I was catching up on some recorded programs from a couple of months ago and was watching one of the Battle of Berlin episodes from the Military channel. Sure enough, there was a Panther firing at the Ivans with the exact same scheme. Program was in black and white so I guess the colors could be debated, but the scheme was the exact same. It was cool to actually see one of the more unusual schemes in an authentic film.

I like the new Panther scheme, I might have picked something different but its still armor.
I know this has been talked about before but I'd love to see a re release of the Panzer IV plenty of potential there for customs!
Oh and what has happened to the 21st King Tiger? I wanted a few of them. I wonder who has the molds to that Tank?

The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

The original static mould for the Panzer model was sold and modified to create the Panzer IV RC version in 2005/6, an irreversible modification.normandy wrote:I like the new Panther scheme, I might have picked something different but its still armor.

Probably the henschel since all the porsche turrets had zimmerit? and JSI probably wouldnt add zimmerit to the existing prototype moldtmanthegreat wrote:Henschel, as it was the most common turret type, though the Porsche does have that beautiful streamlined look to it.
Depending on the cammo scheme a JSI King Tiger would not look so bad in spots, unlike some other items

I rather like the look of the henschel turret, the porsche turret looks more...hum..exotic.tmanthegreat wrote:Henschel, as it was the most common turret type, though the Porsche does have that beautiful streamlined look to it.

You're right though, their spot making abilities could be of great use here...

Well I tell you I had my X-acto knife and styreen ready to do just that. As soon as the Tiger II 's were in I was going to make the Porche turret.gouchy wrote:I'm not particularly knowledgeable in the details, e.g. can't tell the diff between pepsi and coke
would it be workable or accurate if a Henschel KT was ever made, and the turret can be swapped by a customized/built Porsche turret, say from PH?
Man I was ready but 21st was not.
I have the master tracks made for a 1/18 Tiger II but have been scared to make one because maybe it will come out.
That is why I am going to make the Jagdtiger I know that will never be made.
But I have not given up on the T II. If nobody will make it I will.
That will be so sweet to have one 1/18 scale. I already know how I am going to make the wheels and rear deck the Hench turret should be a snap !!!
BUT THERE IS 85 LINKS PER TRACK PER SIDE.
