draganm Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I don't have a gun or a cradle or shield for it either. that would be a heck of a thing to find with only 650 vehicles made and 9 known survivors the Wheatcroft collection seems to have acquired a nice Archer from Israel, maybe check with his sources and see if a gun/shield are available down there?

Belfastboy Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 He has three archers in all. I only need to measure one at the very worst borrow it. We have surplus guns but are all achilles and I would have to remake the recoil Assy to be correct. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdmcm Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I believe Goldcrest Technologies in the UK already makes new Panther torsion bars, notably for Kevin Wheatcrofts Panzer division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draganm Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) they're not wasting any time on this are they? turret off, gun pulled out . I Remembered in S-2 when they visited Alex in the Czech republic, back when he had the huge 50 tons of Tiger bits. Bruce bought the Panther Gyro-compass and now we know where it might be heading. Suggests this deal with Cadman collection was a long time in the making. Edited January 23, 2016 by draganm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draganm Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 if anyone has a contact for the Axis track team or the AAAM folks maybe point them to this Panther stowage box, right side. Considering just sheetmetal construction, This has to be extremely rare being shown with original war time paint on it (presumably) http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/view_large.php?ad=79860&cat=8 looks like it's in Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy the old link from last night was in fact not working ;( I imagine they're saving all the action videos for the owner, AAAM , although you can see Axis track driver pops it into gear. I'm guessing well over 5 million $$ into this including purchase price. It's impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul hocking Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Good video, lovely to see it moving, but why the incredible story, Normandy and Norrie on the 9th June (that makes it 12 SS), then again in the Ardennes, really how incredible to happen to have a panzer with such a history !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cheers paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
