If you made the hetzer could you use the bottom chassis to create the other derivatives of the p 38 at a future time?

It's good to know that the 38t chassis can be used to create other tanks, hopefully at less cost, depending on the piece of course.

I think getting a T-34 into 1:18 is probably one of the most important endeavors for the entire hobby. The fact it's been over looked by the majors is saddening. One of the most important tanks in history.

Looks like the poll slowed.

I guess some of the guys tank's went to the way side and they followed suit.

If you are wondering the inner road wheel of the panther is close to size/scale of a 1/18 t38 road wheel :D

Yes but the dish is wrong as well as the bolts.

I have been looking at using those Panther wheels for a long time.

Will they work ? Yes they can ... ahh no they can't ...

Kind of like Brett Farve. :?
