Nice job
Got to say, a Panther in that green with that marking set.....................still busts my hump :haha:
'Bout the same as the well known pic of the Firefly under new ownership would I imagine :problem:

Thanks guys for the positive feedback,
Yeah Herman- I seriously love panthers, my Girlfriend for my birthday said we'd go to the model shop and let me pick one as a treat, on one condition it wasn't a German one as I have far too many- picked up the M10/panther Ersatz and she never batted an eyelid.

I do intend to do many more panther is in the earlier A/ D guises eventually.

Cheers Carl, we're celebrating our three years of being together anniversary today. Sold my WW2 160Lb tent so will have some money towards a ring soon. Lara supports me in everything I do, doesn't moan at having a King tiger tank soaking in Mr muscle sitting in the bath tub. Didn't bat an eyelid when drove cuckoo past her on its test drive. Ex wife different species LOL. ;-)

Matt great stuff. On my end I've got one child and the post man involved in my tank hobby covert affairs so all goes smoothly

Though sometimes the "look Honi I just repainted this one what do you think?" line has my wife thinking I'm up to no good.

Congratulations Matt. Always great to hear good news! Keep the tank production line cranking up until the little ones arrival. Any other projects under your hat?Image

Thank you Carl,
Yeah production line at the Panzer Werks Fabrik- the two panthers just need dry brushing , washing and detail painted and they're done.
Taigen King tiger new paint job and it'll be up and running,
Static Tamiya King tiger I'm collecting parts to super detail that one out of 1974 up to todays standards,
Taigen Wittmann Tiger 1 Late another long term build.
HL Challenger2 , needs a turret and metal suspension upgrades so that one is a big spend.

Matt - 10 gallon stetson ;-)
