We are nice now….. ask someone what is the correct Panzer grey color and paint to use, people will start becoming unhinged.
“I do have the big problem that everything needs to be perfect.”
You are German, no. Ve must be exact and precise otherwise vise vhy do it.
“Ok, I tried to answer - without the spelling and grammar correction of a translator. Don’t get me wrong, I do understand everything (and if not I will ask what it means) and I am also able to speak and write in English, I just struggle with grammar and spelling.”
Don’t worry about it. What happens with the Queen’s English (that’s what people learned), American, Southern and slang before any translator, dyslexics, ADD or other ism issues, most people are used to it and can usually understand the intent.

Hi , Welcome.Just to add to all the excellent advice.I like to keep bits and pieces like springs, metal wire , bits of wood, metal etc in storage boxes.If you’re going to build dioramas these things will be useful.

Welcome from the other side of the big pond Tobi (or should that be Tobias?)
The atmosphere over here is very relaxed indeed! Therefore it is my personal favourite go-to.
As for your choice of kits: as you can tell by the reaction of Robin (Uncle Heavy), the Panther you chose is not the best kit. It stems from the early '70’s, and has quite some dimensional and also detail errors. As a first when entering the hobby, it will suffice. Just don’t expect a perfect result. The Bulldog is also an old kit. The Churchill is the newest, if I am correct and should give you the best result. A great go-to for info on kits (and to keep track of your stash, once it will grow) is Scalemates. It will show prodigy, after marktet products and quite often reviews.

Thank you to all the new answers! And thank you for getting “user of the month” - I guess it is a system automated award, but still thank you 
I was out of town for a couple weeks, so I have to catch up what was happening here in the forum and of course I need to get back to my panther build! I need to see how I can manage my spare time in-between all my hobbies and projects that are going on in and around the house.
One bigger one is actually related and for the scale modeling hobby. I need to build a total of 4 rolling cabinets for my 3d printers, laser engraver and one for my spray box and all my tools etc. I am currently freaking out because everything is lying around or in big boxes.
@VultureDave
yes, I try to collect everything I can find, always for the “just in case” scenario 
And yes, my absolutely dream would be building kits with a diorama but I have a long way to go.
@golikell
haha, yes Tobias is ok - if you pronounce it the dutch way! Americans pronounce it more like “Tobuyes” and I am not a fan of it. That’s why I always say “Tobi”
Thanks for categorizing my tanks in a timeframe when they been created. As I mentioned, these tanks been bought without any research. More like “oh that looks good, price is ok, let’s get it”
