I thought the triple exhaust pipe went on the other side?

Backwards on the model... along with one backward track.

Do I get double my bandwidth and time back?

Seriously, I'm tired of people telling me to do things and that I "won't be disappointed", like:

- Get married (mom)
- Sell my 1969 Jaguar XKE 4.2 Roadster to my brother (dad)
- Buy two new Chevy Vega's (car dealer)
- Buy a timeshare in Orlando (ex-wife)
- Buy a house in the mountains 25 miles from work and above the snow line (ex-wife, who still has it)
- Take up downhill skiing (ex-wife)
- Fly Cobras (Red Platoon Leader)
- Fly to grid xxxx-xxxx and tell me what happens (Operations Officer)
- Drink the hotel water, it's okay (Desk Manager at hotel in Puerta Vallarta)
- Look at professionally built models on ebay (various pro model builders)

Rant Out - I think I'm done now, but who knows...

Dear Sir

Perhaps you were thinking of the Panther Tank - that was on the Right always you are right there

- this is the JAGDPANTHER However
and was mounted on the Left - the Book Panther in Action # 11 - SQUADRON SIGNAL PUBLICATIONS by Bruce Culver
shows this clearly
( see Page 45 if you wish to check for yourself )
I always check my sources before I come to build

kind regards
David

... but am I mistaken but yours are on the right?

>> Perhaps you were thinking of the Panther Tank - that was on
>> the Right always

That is a surprise to me, all of my photos show it on the Left. Please tell us where you got this information about the Panther?

David

on the left side (driver's side). They were never used on the right side as they weren't needed there. The left exhaust manifold on the engine lost its cooling passage when the crew cooling system was in use, resulting in overheating on the left side of the engine. The two extra pipes restored the cooling to the left manifold. The system was redesigned for the ausf G, and the two pipes weren't needed. The ausf Ds didn't have the crew heating system installed so they didn't need the esxtra pipes either. Early Jagdpanthers had the engine compartment layout of the Panther ausf A, so with the crew heating system, they would have needed the extra two pipes on the left exhaust stack assembly. This does not mean that a few derelict captured Panthers used for technical evaluation could not have been reassembled incorrectly at some point with the extra piping on the right, but this was not the correct configuration for the Panther ausf A or early Jagdpanther. All this information is in Tom Jentz and Hilary Doyle's PanzerTracts.

Dear Mr Culver

Thank you for your kind information

I never thought for a second that a real expert like yourself , would come across my humble Model - and would take the time to answer the queries online , especially as I listed you as an expert source !
I love your Books , sir !
