Ebay item number: 170092307338

I've also listed another batch of Pz IV Schurtzen, Item number: 170092306306

Hi, just went to ebay to get a set, but the item number goes to your pzIV set.

Nevermind, found it thanks. Had another blond moment.

I'm up for a set, but I have a question....I assume these are going to be a bit more of a challenge to hang on the Panther versus the Panzer IV, correct me if I'm wrong but the Panther doesn't have those handy little hangers on the hull sides like the PZ IV does it....??

I haven't found any pictures to show what the Panthers hangers look like. On the one in the picture, I glued them directly to the rails. That doesn't leave much clearance to the tracks, so next time I will use some small spacers. If anybody has better ideas, I'd like to hear them.

I will research this as my time permits, I may have a decent Panther book around here someplace, maybe it will have some pics that will be useful to us in this regard.

The mounts for the panther were located under the hull sides above the tracks. This makes them difficult to find photos showing them.

I got my Panther schurtzen today from Gary. They look great. I can't wait to put a set on one of my tanks.

I got my set today when I got home.

Thanks Gary. Nice job.

Kevin.

Whoo Hoo, my set just showed up!! Great work, thanks.

I like the idea of removable [skirts] on this one too , but don't see how you could "pull it off" myself.









>>> Unless ofcourse ,.. on the other hand , as far as [skirt-hangers] go ,.. I have an idea (or) ... one solution. ------> If you could fashion or make "snap on" holders [--------] for the schürzen panels themselves individually , similar to the little [ brackets ] used on the MkIV. This would also take care of the "clearance issue" too and would'nt be that noticable either. Kinda' like the "snap-on" schürzen panels that go on the FoV 1/32 "Jagdpanther" tank. Slotted little [ "holders or brackets" ] is what I'm referring to here. You could glue these on the (top edge) of the back panel of the schürzen and simply "snap them on" in place. ........ By the way ,.. I just ordered 3-sets of these anyway. ... Thanks again Gary ! ... + =

I was thinking of trying some adhesive Velcro. Adhesive Velcro has a sticky backing that will adhere to almost anything. What you would do is apply a thin strip of the Velcro "pile" (the fuzzy stuff) on the tank fender, and another narrow strip of Velcro "hook" (the prickly stuff) on the skirts. The skirts are super light weight so the Velcro should have no problem holding them in place. This might solve the dilemma of mounting the skirts without permanently altering the tank, and the sticky backed Velcro could easily be removed from the tank without causing any damage. Well, it's just a thought..... I may give it a try because I don't want to glue the skirts in place on mine.

I'm not talkin' permanent here either. Just coming up with some "slotted [ --- ] hanger-bracket" tabs or something that will fit the fender. You could just glue these on the (top-edge) on the back of the schürzen and still be removable + take care of the "clearance issue" and still would'nt be all that noticable either , is what I have in mind. + =

Sounds excellent, let me know what you come up with.
