R/C Panzer V AUSF G

Nearing Completion (After I bought the kit 19 years ago..!!!) German Panzer V AUSF G from the SLEC Kit which went out of production when the company changed hands in 1987.
I bought this kit at the Wembley Model Engineer Exhibition in January 1985, it cost £39 then.
Two Meccano motors fitted but with 6 speed gearboxes.
Bit of scale detail finishing and markings to do yet but nearly ready to rumble.

It's a big tank too..!!

The tools on the sides (track mounting bars, tool box, axe, sledgehammer, crankhandle and exhausts etc are all hand made and NOT supplied with the kit)
I have a book on Panzer Modelling which has provided much valuable info to get this right
