I have a link somewherer to one. Just need sometime to find it. Or, i do actually have it, i just have no way of hosting it.

Just watched it. It is a Panther G with the IR gear on the turret. It sounds so bad ass!!

I could be wrong but I think I remember reading that the Patton Museum at Ft. Knox had a runner.

I believe the vid i have is from Germany.

I think its a beligain fella who has the clips on his website I'll try and post them later the video clip was taken in Koblenz I think shows a panther moving down a track theres also a sturat and something else in the clips he also has some clips of a 251 being driven in the ardennes and something else not sure what. isnt the panther which in the same muesum as the t-55 which as the feature of a tamiya mag walk round going to be rebuild as a runner?

i have the video of that panther if anybody is interested ?

i would like to see that, my email address is on my profile page, if you would be so kind

cheers

The Panther in the Koblenz (Germany) museum was built after the war for British evaluation purposes. During the restoration it got the Zimmerit coat and the IR equipment FG 1250 which are both reproductions. The tank is in running condition.

Does the French Museum at Samur still have an A model running?
For a while there they did the carosel of runners in the summer and the Panther from the Verlinden book was in it.

i'll upload them to my website when i get back home around noon.

thanks,

There is one at Münster thats supposed to be in running condition - infact, all of the tanks and softskins at Münster should be in running condition exept the King Tiger due to the lack of a original gearbox.

I have a movie (12 mb) from Koblenz showing there Panther - i´ll see if i can find the url for the movie.

Btw. heres a nice site with WW2 footage: Panzerlexicon.de

Yes they do, I went to the show where they run the vechicles when I was stationed in Germany in the Army back in 1997 (13 hour ride from Baumholder..in a Honda Civic filled up with plastic contaners of fuel lol)

IIRC the Panther at the museum in Overloon, the Netherlands, is being restored back to running condition...

The only Panther D still in existence will never run anymore, as it is now a monument in Breda...

If everybody who wanted got those videos, i am going to take them down in copule hours...
