In 2001 I came across a book by Edward F NcCrane, Exotic Panzers in Miniature. published by Schiffer military history books.
One of his projects was this Panther variant in 1:35.
By this time I was collecting and doing custom projects in 1:18, so thats how it started.
As I stated at the start, the basic tank was a 21st Panther G with some parts reused the rest is styrene sheet and recently snap
together Panther Track Links from Battleground.
Over the years I've built Bandi 1:48, Tamiya 1:35 and Monogram 1:32. At a point the price of those makers kits was approaching
that of a 1:18 21st Century Toys model.
1:6 was to big and for me 1:18 was just the right scale...I could see it and easy to work on.
This tank would have been impractical, height would have been about 11' tall, a good target and the Panther was a fine tank. So it made no
sense for Germany to produce it, thats how this one came to be.
