Re: Ahlfors' panther G

The problem with being a perfect idiot is that things take a lot longer that way. :oops: The wheels were prepared for assembly by soaking them in dishwater overnight. However, there was some sticky goo left in some places, so I used IPA to remove, but it didn't help. This is where I got smart and di...

Re: Ahlfors' panther G

Thanks, Bob! :D Reassembly is back where I took it apart! :lol: 20251221_120349_RESIZE.jpg It's amazing how much solvent there is in a spray can! :shock: I have installed the front armor plates. The fit was perfect and the threaded holes look like a perfect fit, too. Next thing there, is to install ...

Re: Ahlfors' panther G

Rain, rain, rain, but mild weather, so I have been able to paint in the garage and weather out the fumes. :thumbup: But the christmas feeling suffers... :roll: The interior will get a bit of color, for tidiness and ease of finding dropped parts. Don't ask how I know that's a good idea... :angel: 202...

Re: Ahlfors' panther G

According to the manual, the torsion bars were pre ground to the correct angles, the swing arms and their bushings were threaded identically and with the correct angles and so, after assembly, very little adjustment would be necessary, if any. Yea, right: 20251022_125352_RESIZE.jpg There were shims ...

Re: Barn find - Estate sale - Steel M5 Stuart

Fantastic looking everything you do. You are very productive. :thumbup:

The printed steel parts are very nice looking. May I ask what service you used?

bana hemma hos mig

Det verkar som att det där med trädgårdsskötsel kanske kan vara lite skoj, faktiskt. Nu har jag provat på det och det innebar en del röjning inför anläggningen av en väg. Den prunkande grusgången har under sommaren delvis sorterats upp i jord resp grus, som lagts tillbaka. Jorden (mest sand, men änd...

Re: Early Tiger 1 from sPzAbt 503

I had quite a bit of souvenir from Denmark: 20250911_093727_RESIZE.jpg The pressure cleaner broke, but the garden hose was okay to use: https://youtube.com/shorts/mJZyqrGXg-Q mJZyqrGXg-Q After drying, they were sprayed liberally with WD40 and stored until they could be put back on yesterday.

Re: Ahlfors' panther G

Well, let's not judge them by what they did almost twenty years ago. Time sure flies, doesn't it? :shock: Work has now commenced where people normally start - with the suspension bars. In this case, there was a double torsion bar upgrade kit available: 20251018_145818_RESIZE.jpg The belly plate in t...

Trist med sjukdom på sommaren, men bra - då inkräktar det inte på byggsäsongen! :mrgreen:

Vad fint resultat det har blivit!
Hoppas att få se den! :D

Re: Ahlfors' panther G

Test assembly has meant some additional milling and then some filing. The fastening screws have been upgraded from M3 to M4, since there is significant force required to pull the parts together. I decided to leave the steel roof untouched and have adapted the turret sides to fit instead. That bit we...
