Rheinmetall KF-51 Panther 1:43 and 1:35 scale

Rheinmetall KF-51 Panther Main Battle Tank in 1:43 scale.  (Additional 1:35 profile also added)

From Wiki:

"The Panther KF51 (KF is short for German "Kettenfahrzeug" lit. 'tracked vehicle') is a German and Italian fourth-generation main battle tank (MBT) that is under development by Rheinmetall Landsysteme (part of Rheinmetall's Vehicle Systems division). It was unveiled publicly at the Eurosatory defence exhibition on 13 June 2022.

The KF51 is based on the hull of the Leopard 2A4, but with a new turret mounting an autoloaded 130 mm main gun. On 5 December 2022, Rheinmetall announced its plans to target mostly existing Leopard 2 operators with the KF51."

This is a remix from Baryonyx6's pretty damn awesome model on Thingiverse, which includes a barrel that elevates, MG miniturret that rotates, launcher that opens, and main turret that (kinda) rotates.  I re-scaled for 1:43 (and 1:35) and added print-in-place tracks from another tank model here on Makerworld with some minor edits to play nicely with the wheels on this tank.  

Model in pic was printed at 0.2mm layers, but can be printed with more fine layer lines if desired (longer print times).

*Tracks must be printed at 0.08mm.  I already tweaked settings so should print fine with just layer height change.  No guarantees if printed at thicker layers.

*Glue is necessary for assembly.  

 Shout out to all the tank modelers on this site!  You guys are awesome and inspiring!
