Imex-Erik, will this be an option here in the U.S.? Noe electronics and no paint with 4-1 gearbox?

Wow the texture on the metal parts is nice. Like the way they matched the interlocking plate on the upper and lower hull front plates. Weld beads are not bad either. Looks like there is not a lot of work needed to texture the surface before you paint it!!! Do the road wheels have bearings?

Then keep watch! When I finish the new site I'll make sure everyone knows, I've been wanting to do more kits for a while now....

Yes, the infrared version does feature barrel recoil
Also, congrats on the Panther F! Its one of my favorites atm besides my Hetzer and Leo

thanks for stepping in Erik.
Man the quality have done a leap over the past few years, not just in the texture and details on these latest tank's I've bought ( this and the Jagdtiger ) but also in the running department. Love it . Nice and heavy with all the goodis, speed is decent stock out of the box, could use a little more power in the motors, so will take it for a spin tomorrow with hopefully :
stock 2,4 ghz + 4/1 black gearboxes and stock motors
same but with JP480 motors installed
and with IBU/Clark boards with the 4/1.
My dklm gearbox is still a few weeks away

So how are you liking it so far? I especially like the hatches on the upper hull. If you didn't notice its an all new upper hull mold for both of the new Panthers All that is left is the Jagdpanther (to which the chassis will fit btw guys) metal edition and we are all set

as mentioned by maus seems you can get in the paintbooth rather quick. Weld's and texture look good out of the Box . Would have liked the spare tracks and hangers also to come in the spare parts bag , not glued tight as on mine , and I like the jagdtiger setup on the opening system, rather to have them under the tank. .
Do you have a pdf of the manual for the F Erik ?

Not milestone better , but they are stronger .( I forgot to do supersping on video with the 390's on gras, not much power to do it I can tell you)
But it's just a test now until I get the DKLM gearbox shipped. With that installed it will be smooth and powerful .
