Just wondering if this is possible.

Can using Panels 3 and Views take over 'full node' to display content?

yep, and oddly enough, it's called a 'node override' ;-)

Directly from the panels project page:

Integration with other systems allows you to create nodes that use this, landing pages that use this, and even override system pages such as taxonomy and the node page so that you can customize the layout of your site with very fine grained permissions.

Thanks for that but still a little confused by what it's meant about node page?

For example, when a user clicks on the teaser, it takes the user to the full node page. This is the page i am interested in using Panels for as i want to place a block with 3 tabs and perhaps a slideshow where it only shows images associated with the same full node page being viewed (possibly using some arguments for the block and slideshow).

Panel is a complicated module and takes time to learn. This was why i wanted to ask and make sure it was possible before i delve into it and commit all my time to.

The other way was to use Comtemplate but this has it's limits and originally wasn't really meant for templating a full node in the first place.

Thanks,

no worries-- and yes, usually when the phrase "node page" is used it refers to exactly what you said-- the full node display (as opposed to the teaser display).
