Your Jagdpanther is looking really good Keith. Love the photo-etch work. I'm tempted to get the Panther PE set now!
Cheers

if you can get hold of leaded solder its much easier to work with on the brass
i started out on my tiger bin using unleaded solder and it was a nightmare :crazy:

Well i have been thinking about camo for a while now and i finally settled on this

But then i logged in one day and "andicog" had beat me to it with his Jagdpanther build :'( So the searching started again and i found this, "Splinter Camo", and i love it, so thats what it is going to be :D :D

Did some work on the rear today, more fiddly P.E parts, a couple of them modified to look more like the pics i have, also i had some brass sheet left over so i added some lids on the bins and then added the P.E hinges to them, they dont open but they look good :crazy:
