Re: Pantiger to Panther A
A few update photos of progress on Panther A build, the pantiger sides have been fitted to the (G) top deck, the driver and radio operators hatches have been glued in place with handles and plate casting lines cut into the plastic. Pantiger exhausts have been glued to the panther G’s rear panel and the stowage bins have been moved outwards to fill the gap. I have some lids for the stowage bins and will fit later along with the jack between the exhausts. The pantiger turret has a new barrel but no muzzle brake at the moment, I may get the model G barrel not sure yet.
I have had a go at the drivers vision hatch and will tidy up some more later. The tank is going to get zimmerit at the end and is going for a war weary look when finished. Sorry if the photo quality is a bit poor.

Re: Pantiger to Panther A
Looking great so far. Some more pics of the driver’s visor would be nice.
Re: Pantiger to Panther A
As requested a few more pics of driver vision hatch. Some more filling & sanding needed yet.

Zimmerit time using milliput and block stamp method. Yes it’s messy but I am starting to like the look of it and you can add any damage or missing areas as you go along.

Re: Pantiger to Panther A
Nice job with the zim. It'll be worth it at the end.
Re: Pantiger to Panther A
Zimmerit update, that’s the upperhull and turret sides given a coat of milliput in a zimmerit style. Looks better after a coat of primer. Time to get the lower hull done next.
